Detail...err not really.

Decided to do a little painting on my beater so this definitely isn't a detail thread like some of you are used to seeing. It is what it is but it came out pretty good. Let me know what you think. I need to get side markers for it but just haven't picked them up yet.

Still need to do the wheels and I plan on adding tint to the back three windows. Just something I did when I was bored and wanted this thing that was primer, green, and white to look better. I think it turned out great. LOL

Not any time soon that's for sure! I stay busy so for me to find time to do this was great.

I have about 5 coats on it and that's the key. The first layer should be very VERY spotty. Second should be the same, third should have some zebra/leopard spotting going on, and the 4th should fill in the rest and the 5 is to give it an even coat. If you see striping, it needs another coat.
