*(minus $15 for 2nd/3rd place, minus standard Paypal fees which is about $0.30 on $5 ------$47.29 Final Amount)

The Purpose:
To promote traffic and participation in the Paint and Body Forum and to build a tech base with knowledgeable people.

The RULES:
These are the rules for the competition. Please note first and foremost, these are RULES, not just guidelines. Entries will be disqualified if the do not abide by the rules listed here. Please IM/PM me with any questions.

1) Absolutely no powder coating, no anodizing, no dipping (chrome, gold, copper, etc) will be permitted. All VCs must be done in paint.

2) You must provide a minimum of three (3) pictures of your process.

(a) A "before" picture. Simple, a picture before any sanding, stripping, shaving, etc. begins.

(b) A "during" picture. This can be a picture of any part of the process. More than one of this process is encouraged, but not required.

(c) A "complete" picture. This is a picture of your final product. Again, more than one of this process is encouraged, but not required. Please notify me of exactly which picture you choose for your official entry. This is the one that will be posted for polling purposes. A quality camera/picture can certainly improve your odds. I realize more than one picture may be necessary to capture the different aspects of the VC (i.e. shading, metallics in the sun, etc.). The VC does not have to be on the motor in your pic.

3) You must provide a list of materials you used: sand paper, paint stripper, primer, paint, clear, tape, etc. A picture would be nice, but not required.

Post here in this thread with your pictures and materials list and I will add the info to this post.

4) Entrance fees: I will maintain a list of people who have paid their entrance fee here. When you have Paypal'd me your $5, I will add you to this list.

> Paypal your $5 here: asimoisking@yahoo.com
You must include your screen name in the notes/additional info section! If you do not include your screen name I will consider it a gift!

5) VCs you've done prior to this competition are not admissible.

6) VCs are welcome from any make/model, but after all this is Honda-Tech, so naturally we would prefer it be Honda/Acura.
