Looks good, but I would have left the lower air box black. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

i used Dulicolor spray paint, you can find it at any automotive shop, the cans are like 5.00 dollars a peice

primer, wet sand 400 grit,
primer, wet sand 600 grit,
first color, wet sand 600 grit,
second color, wet sand 600 grit,
third color, wet sand 1000 grit,
and then final coat of color

after about 30 days for the paint to cure, i am going to wax it, it took me three days straight to paint it, waiting at least 12 hrs between coats

the only part where it scratches is, the "clips", i am going to make that look better, maybe i will put some rubber and outline the lid in black, like i did the neck of the lid

thanks

justin
