Ha ha that's crazy! I've never heard of that. Be sure to post the can. How did you hear of it? Any past experience? I myself have an Iwata LPH400 that I absolutely love. It's the only gun I spray clear with. Not the best, but very good for the money. Let's see more pics!

That color stands out. Just on seeing those pictures makes me excited on how great your car will look. Update?

Awesome color choice, love sonic blue! Is your sail panel a different color or is the lighting playing tricks on me?

She is home in the driveway. I still need to mount the grill, the driver's side door panel, wire up and mount the new electric antenna and stick the dumb triangles back on... then give it a nice detail
But today, I rest. I'm going into school on Monday to finish those few touches.

the sail panel is a pure black basecoat with a few coats of blue pearl mixed with blue ice on top of it. The t-top divider piece is the same color and the t-top wells are satin black.



NEW PICS ARE ON THE WAY

Did you ever get a chance to get some pictures of the beta clear?

Yes, I will upload them today. The website is www.betacolor.it


SO, I got the grill mounted on the car, put the driver's side door panel back on and put the triangles back on also after a quick scuff and buff on them. All I have left is to scuff and shoot the grill for my Ultra-Z hood and wait on some love from emblempros.com in the mail.


Some HRE's wouldn't hurt if anybody wants to donate me a set.

Looks great, let's see some big pics of it. It was kind of anti-climatic to see big pics of the progress and then tiny pics of it finished.

I dont know what happened with those. 1/2 of those pics that I uploaded are from my cell, and the last 3 are from my cell also, but they are tiny. That **** pissed me off too, man! I washed it today, so I will be getting some more pics.
