lol asian i was actually thinking that, since you and red wine are here near miami i thought maybe i teach you guys how to paint ! lol but tomorow when i wake up im getting the paint. This car will be done by late afternoon tomorow or should i say today because its almost 2am lol .okay soooo yeah and the head lights came out so perfect because i take alot of time on them lol im picky when it comes to doing things. i like doing things once !!!! so i do it nice and slow ! but im still fast for knocking out a whole car without skipping steps in 48 hrs ! i would do a rite up on how to paint a entire car but the rite up will never have a ending because of all the steps lol sorry ! i dont mind questions tho ! so just ask away !

I've been drinking so forgive me but I don't see what color you chose, so I'm throwing out there, a metallic navy blue, that sweet lexus pearl white on the first page or Arctic White. Though I'm partial to navy blue...not rice and I think it would look sweet

yeah i use real paint guns, real 60 gal compressor . my only downside is my porch because its open to air. i tried covering it before but the wind would still get in and destroy the tarps i had up and it would damage the paint more on the car.
