of course not... thats ghey... lol
heres pix... just FINALLY finished the rims tonight... literally like 20 mins ago... clear is still tacky (even all the runs lol) its harder to paint rims than u think....
If this lil fella has some human blood in him maybe the next race can dig him out of my clear coat and clone us heheheh
Ive got the runs...
ill be better w the clear coat with more practice... + its easier to do a car than goofey bends and dips like on rims...
Leavin on sat to help my friend move home... hopin to get my jambs done soon then erect the makeshift booth and get her painted up... I think it'll look ******* yo! esp with the white rims on the blue... Ive ALWAYS wanted a nice blue w/ white rims....
Night all!! Im goin to drink some BEERz!!!

there is a technique to painting...you gotta learn it and use good tools, ex: a good spray gun lke one from sata, and also i didnt notice if the rust was patched w/ sheet metal or jsut filled in with bondo or expoxy?you have a tremendous amout of prep work to do before you can even think about color at this point, block the whole car with 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000, wipe clean and dry with a Prep solevent spray w/ air once more, remask and then begin with color, make sure its mixed correctly and applied in ONE direction(side to side) with nice evenand light coats(while maintaining good coverage) keep working and it could come out good, as for the wheels and clear, take it easy with the clear, the closer you are, the more it will run, you need to tilt the gun at diff angles to ensure even coverage on the surface, PM me if you need any more help w/ paint or bodywork, again you are well on your way and doing a pretty damn decent job!
