Re: so its time for paint

your painting your car this color? I like the gray/black or blue, your car is blue if I remember correctly.

Re: so its time for paint

If the car is fast enough, you dont need paint. Just nice taillights

Re: so its time for paint

Well...IMO I think that the green is to "low rider" and Im not a fan of red. So if I had to pick between the last 2 I would pick the bottom one.

lmfao i liek that one, but the paints getting really bad and i have some surface rust in a few spots on the roof.

i just ordered the bottom one grey/sliver/bronze metalic

paint was cheap was under 275$'s for 2 cans of paint 2 32oz cans of activator and 2 quarts of reducer

im thinking aboiut ordering a 3rdcan of paint cause they sell the stuff in 3/4 gallon cans 1.5 gallons should be enough to do the entire car but the stuffs so cheap i dont think it hurt to get the 3rd can and have extra
