Thanks, I only took pictures at the good angles..lol..its not too shiny head on, but i think once it gets a cut and buff it will be a lot shinier. I am happy though, costed me less than 190 bucks for paint(114-gallon), )reducer(28 or so bucks-gallon), catalyst(38 bucks-quart). I got a huuuuuuge run on the passenger side 1/4 panel that i need to sand out though.

Damn... that came out hella good for singlestage

 

omni base and clear

 

in for some more DIY paintjobs

 

yay!!

 

i dont have any pix, but i paint cars and stuff in the shop space... not in a paint booth, so it simulates at "home" a technique i learned was to get the ground wet around the car, obviously dont kick the water on to the car... the dust in the air and over spray tend to stick to the water...

 

spraypaint:

 

that looks pretty good. looks kind of like a ninja turtle

body work and primer done..hopefully gonna lay down some paint this weekend

 

Did this in my backyard with 123432432 bugs and spiders with spraypaint cans ordered from towerpaints.com
Wasn't painted properly, but will do for me
Paint still holds up decent and its been over 2 years

 

that is not bad for rattle cans

 

i'm in the process right now...I'll post pics in a few weeks when It's done.

 

In progress as well for me...hopefully i'll be done within 2 weeks....as of now, shaving the moldings off of my dc2
