Default Candy Coupe EM1 Content

My buddy Mike asked me to snap s few pics of his newly made over coupe. I'm not a pro photographer at all, so these pics don't do the car justice at all....
But I was honored to be the first person to take pics of this thing. Ill try and edit a few more by the end of the weekend.

The gold was actually applied to the entire car before the candy red was laid. The door jambs, trunk, engine bay, and subframe were all left gold and the candy paint was laid over the gold base.

looks better than most, i'd lose the sunroof visor though.. looks out of place with no wing or no rear window visor.

also black or color matched gold wheels would look much better

wow, exterior is killing it, good work.

But that color combo...McDonalds?

I would have picked a different combo to avoid that...

In general, white and red = ketchup and maynaise, red and yellow/gold = Ketchup and mustard

Quality work though, nice!
