It was a toss up, I really liked how the black gloss looked, and could not decide if I should redo it in glossy black. The pic where it is glossy, is the wrinkle paint and I was really thinking it was going to wrinkle anyway, so I would of had to redo it all. Also its not that orangish in person, its all going into this car which I thought white and red would look nice

I don't have an oven not used for food, I don't think it looks rushed. Could be the glare in the pics being picked up. Looks a lot better then before and in person, and I did not feel like spending money on the cover, since all the money is going to the rebuild of the car.

I put mine in the oven. Didn't affect my food quality, just let it air out for a while. Tried a VC a while back letting it air dry and it came out looking like ****. Oven is the way to go.

I did not feel like pissing off the people in the house, it was some what rushed but I'm happy with the overall out come. I had a few powder coaters in mind, even thought about buying a real red cover but felt like spending my money on power. Like I said, my build is costing a lot of money.
