i dont have any before pics .. just the finished ones . the paint is PPG

started out with the following
:bulldog adheasive promoter-2 light coats
:bulldog etching primer- 2 coats light scuffing inbetween
: PPG dark bronze matalic 3 coats(same color and the bronze volks)
: PPG clear with gold pearl mix- 2 coats
thats pretty much it came out better then i thought
