i would prefer amber, but amber lenses are like $60 online, and a can of amber clear paint is $25 from the local import store, and these are cracked anyways. plus no one sells krylon stained glass paint here. or any other type of amber paint. so clear it is. until i have money to spend on things other than wetsanding (which desperately needs to be done)

Re: my car FINALLY out of the paint shop!! (j.fuggi)
orangepeel
some drips
paint color not matching exactly
rear top of bumper lacking a bit of clearcoat
but factoring in that i have no spoiler holes, emblems or moldings, it's an ok deal. believe me when i say if you get within 5 feet, you're gona see flaws.
but lets celebrate, because i haven't driven my ******* car in 5 weeks!!
yay paint job

Re: my car FINALLY out of the paint shop!! (sutrusu)
Yep, i was in the same boat. No one around me sold orange krylon paint so i had to order it online. the paint was $5.99 but shipping cost $5.
For $250, its a great price and you had the car painted. I am guessing you did the body work on your own. The results look good to us on here... and who is going to get close enough to notice. Just like all of us, you'll be cruising past all the ongazers

that's a very flattering picture too by the way. lots of flaws in the paint, kinda pissed. only paid $250 tho so not bad.</TD></TR></TABLE>
I think your car looks very nice. I am not trying to hate, but what did you expect for $250? I would say it looks DAMN good for $250.

Looks good man. Like the other guy said some orange turn signals would be better. So when you get some money like you stated that will make it looks much better.

Very nice car it looked fine with the old paint job when you had subzeros on.This paint job looks good to but i guess i would have to fly all the way over there to see all the flaws.For 250 its oka cuz if you went all out (1000+)it wouldnt be worth it.
