Dude that is ******* AWESOME looking!!!! Major improvement from what you started with, specially with that ugly *** bumpergod i hate those!

I went to a local cruise-in the other day at a body shop and won a gift for $100 off a purchase over $1000, since i don't trust myself with a paint gun around my car I'm gonna get them to do it for me lol Just need tax money to hurry up and come in now!!!

Its really not hard to paint it , just make sure the body is prep really good when this is sprayed thats the way it is ! theres no wet sanding or buff . Unless of course you want to do a whole panel over again . Thanks for all the compliments i was a little worried about the whole thing but iam happy with it . now i just nee to get in some car shows

I might would try it myself if i had a reliable place to paint it, my buddy's dad has a "paint boot" but hes one **** mother ****** and i could see him just pushing my **** out of the booth w.o telling me and letting it sit in the yard 1/2 done, cause i'm sure this is no 1 day job...at least for me i know it wouldn't be. Looking back at your pics i think you should tint the front & rear side markers, that would flow a lot better i think.

I wouldn't say its not hard to paint. Black is one of the most unforgiving colors to paint. Any slight mistake & you'll notice it, especially on this particular paint.

And like stated, if you mess up there is no easy fix with this paint. your gonna have to resand the entire panel & re-shoot it. I was gonna attempt this myself but after doin plenty of reading & asking professional painters, I decided to let a shop do it at tax time.

I'd be pissed if I got a little run & had to re-do an entire panel.

Under the hood was already black so it was no biggy for me but they do sell flat black in a rattle can if you just wanted to go the cheaper route. The exhust is headers with 3inch dual pipes into spintech mufflers right now they dump at the rear axle but iam going to finsh it with duals to the rear and have dual tips in black chrome .
