BUt this comment right here... I completely agree with both statements.
Yes. Its A LOT of work...
And i see that the black does hide it so well.. Its almost not even worth it...
So its your fault... I will probably be repainting my whole car now... Thanks

I used a Rustoleum satin black that you can get at auto zone. Has a fan spray and all. No clear.... that would take away from the satin effect. Painted my berger panel with this stuff and it is still immaculate after 2+ years on the car.

That is because you are Canadian and you guys do everything backwards...... even the way you spell color.
All jokes brutha.... i use to live in Toronto. Good times.
Really it was a toss up on the color..... black or SOM. I chose satin black because i like the old school look of black everywhere and didn't want gloss.
