i like flat black cavs with the Z kit. but im on the fence about it in combination with flat black Z wheels. maybe itll grow on me. definately think about spraying your drums, the rust color always makes em stick out a bit, but it looks like you did a pretty decent job so overall i say nice work

You should spray the drums black as well, the surface rust showing through the wheels kills it. Aside from that, looks good so far

paint the wheels a different color and i'm sure it'll look better.

I would expect better pics from a d40


it's one of the easiest DSLR's to use

I think it looks decent.

No reason to hate on the guy's paint job. It's not like he went around saying he was the best painter. Better then it was before isn't it bud?

ya thanks for the comments good or bad. i used krylon satin black. took like 3 cans to do the whole car. and as i said its better to have one shade of black then a bunch of shades.

clc- idk why they turned out the way they did it may be my filter or could have been i had it on auto. not really sure ima mess with it some more. im no pro with a cam but im learning.

thanks again

I think it looks terrible. You can see it doesn't blend at all, you missed spots, etc...
