Sorry about the phone pics.

Looks good. But all that work to just do a bland color

And for the paint booth as long as it gets it done. Personally I like my setup

As long as it's venalated your golden. I painted my bike in my garage with plastic like that and the overspray ruined the job.

I like it. charcoal?
and I must agree with Joe. a simple paint color/scheme is much better than something ugly and obnoxious.
and FOX, dude, re-spray the entire car black, and call it a day. no crazy paint schemes, please.

i dont really care for the writing either... i just wanted to see how it'd look...

i seem to have a completely different mentality than yall.

the next time i paint it, its gonna be jet black with green hot rod style flames that have blue tips.

I have to agree with all the above comments about paint color. Just because your repainting the car doesn't mean you need to pick something that will scorch retinas or scream for attention. Elementality, I like the color you went with. I painted my car in my garage like that once. Hopefully you don't have as much wetsanding and buffing to do as I did. lol. Hooray for no door handles.

Yeah, its called being 18 and not having a very matured taste. You'll grow out of it eventually, or be branded as a beaner.

Taste is a very relative thing.


As is not running off the new guy for not having it.
