Default 1st Attempt at the Berger mod..
well I got bored today just sitting at the house and decided to try my hand at spraying some color, I have sprayed primer countless times when I was into the Mini Truckin` scene, but always had someone with more experiance spray the color, so this was my 1st attempt at spraying color and the berger mod, was supposed to be Satin Black but umm yeah, got Semi-Gloss by mistake.. needs to be wet sanded to get some trash out, and cleared..

lil close up

I only like it when it's done in a Satin, Semi Gloss, or a Flat black... Don't care for the gloss black, as the old Berger 1st gens weren't gloss, but more a Flat black.

That is all my Mom's crap laying around, minus the Motor on the K-member in the background, and the set of tires in the corner...only thing the car needs besides a motor is some TLC and enough attention to be finished.....

Def. not going to come off, it has 3 coats, plus about to get a lil clear, granted it is some soft *** paint, but that's what the clear is for
