Default Some crappy pictures of my crappy paint on my crappy EJ1

Fresh rollered on paint, sweet carpet moulding front lip, missing corner light because it fell out when i hit a oppossum...

Headlights will be untinted soon, spoiler will go back on after the paint dries...

Yup, looks decent in person, but i messed up the rear quarters, i need to sand them and recoat. Not really noticeably messed up unless you're looking, just some runs and some bad spots from where i stripped the primer i used from it reacting with the paint.

Turned out well though, i'm happy.

It's all in the patience, which i lack, if you wet sanded this between coats and buffed it, it'd look amazing. I personally don't care and just threw on a couple coats and called it a paint job, i just wanted it all one color.

It's really not that bright, it's just the flourscent lights and flash, it's an orange yellow (Sunburst), i was just trying to chose a color that would hide the many imperfections in the body, the only choices i had were White, Yellow, or Grey. I wanted kind of a dark baby blue, but they couldn't mix it (i don't know why...?), but i'm pretty happy with yellow.

Those rims are temporary, the BBS meshies beside the car are going on it, still have to finish painting the last one Gunmetal from Gold and getting the tires mounted.
