So far its the easiet to take care of ! not like you need to wax it or buff it , i went to the car wash and didnt use soap 
just high pressure hose took all the dirt off but its black so you still have to deal with dirt like a normal black car 
its cool you dont see or run into other cars painted like this .

mine shows much less dirt than a gloss black car, but a little more than the blue did before...its not as bad as I expected
I just wash like normal with soap, no wax...water still beads off naturally (might be because mine is primer not paint)
it scratches a little easy with fingernails and stuff but big whoop its a streetfighter look...its gonna get some battle scars

As soon as my tax money comes in I'm droppin my car off at the painter to get done in SEM Hot Rod black. I already get everything worked out with the body shop back in December. I'm hopin my tax money is enough to grab some wheels/tires from OEwheels at the same time.

some thin spoke c5 wheels in gunmetal or satin aluminum would look sick with the new paint

how would water spots effect it? has it stayed out in the rain at all. my car wont be able to stay in the garage all the time, and it will be a daily driver, so it will see rain/morning dew every once in a while. just wondering how it will respond to dried on water spots, will they wash/rinse off fairly easy like on paint, or do they leave harder spots?

my car is rarely garaged (only when my dads shop has an open bay) so it's had its fair share of rain
so far its all washed off though, but like I said mine is primer and over time will chalk up and grey...if you want the look and intend to keep it the hot rod black or something comparible that is actually paint would be better to withstand UV rays and the like

much better looking than the played out c5z or zr1s (neither of which I think look good as a design in the first place) but still dirt cheap
I wish they would fit my car and the 17s were wider...I'd give them a shot, but the backspace and the having to run 18s in back killed that idea

good call, the deep dish c5 wheels look flat out amazing, I didn't even realize they were supposed to be vette knock offs due to the curved spokes they have

Thanks :-) I used Hot rod black no clear is used , you prep the car and i tack cloth it shoot the paint very simple to do, wait 10 to 15 min between coats i put 3 on . If you want to buy the same paint let me know i have enough for you to do 3 coats on your car and everything you will need reducer and hardener.

That looks great! I'm glad to see the pics, I had my doubts. I've seen A LOT of posts where people have said "I'm doing that this weekend & I'll post pics when I'm done" And then would post "It looks bad *** but I didn't get any pics" never to be heard from again lol.
Congrats on actually following though & an awesome paint job!
