Congrats on a job well done. That looks killer!!! I am assuming you are going to put new chrome on it as well. Great color choice.

I was wondering the same thing? I do know that Stacey had his color made through Dupont.

thanks for posting this!, this paint source will be very handy when i try to learn how to paint on my pos dart. Did you use any of the "how to paint your car" crap?

EDIT: Oh and BTW... looks like you did an amazing job! the layout you picked for the stripes will look awesome too!

Great f'in job! How did you do that without any experience? What references did you use? Can you post the process and stages you went through for those of us who want to paint our cars but are way to scared to mess it up?

What equipment did you use?

I'm just kinda speechless when I look at that car. I think that's because I'm unable to talk due to the large amounts of drool coming out of my mouth.
