Default Painted My L76 *Pics*
Used the DupliColor rattle cans. Came out pretty damn good. Haven't wet sanded or buffed yet, but I think it's smooth enough, I'm just gonna leave it alone! Color is Medium Grey Metallic. Enjoy!

It does look like it in the pics, but in person it doesn't. Could be the lighting I guess.

Lightly sanded with 400. Then applied 3 coats of High Build Filler Primer from DupliColor, sanded with 400 after it dried, sprayed another coat of primer, then sanded with 1000, then sprayed the color and clear.
