haha thanks guys. I changed my mind like 100 times on what color i was painting it. anyways...i did get a chance to spray my side ground effects tonight. picked up a better gun with the air regulator at the gun so it would turn out better today and be more accurate also. i have it in the pictures. first i sealed the primer, waited for it to dry and sprayed the paint on. i didn't follow directions so it might now turn out as good. i mixed it and everything but i missed the step that said put a light tack coat on and then 2 medium coats. i just saw the 2 medium coat part until i went back later and saw it. oh well. i might re do them. this was really just to see what the color looked like anyways. i probly will paint the headlight buckets black, adric. http://adweek.blogs.com/photos/uncat...mini_boobs.jpg haha how bout that for my front end? j/k j/k
enjoy

yeah i woulda been pissed if i did on my car what i did on the bottom of one of my gfx. i forgot to do the fan adjustment and it was really straight forward instead of like spraying vertically a lot. idk how to explain it but it sprayed way too much paint in one spot and there were runs all over. i know im gonna get impatient and want to spray my car asap but im gonna try my best to do it right and take my time.
