Still a ways to go. I had a bad run in the passenger door that wouldnt come off without taking off flake and paint. It's smooth now, VERY easy to fix just gotta put a small bit of white primer down to cover the grey then blow the door in with flake and clear.

I dont even have to mask the car, just shut a trashbag either end of the door and tape one over the window (ill supply the bags this time hehe).

So I got up earlier to get onto removing that run, sun was in and it pretty much looked like a shiny white car..





So i set about fixing the run.



And then out of nowhere, sun came ! but the camera doesnt do this justice. It pops *so hard* that its almost magical, I really cant put into words how f***ing amazing it looks when youre there with it in the sunshine. Breathtaking.



(had bird shit on the roof so water there cos I washed it off)

Not really something I would do, but it looks pretty pimp.

May I make a suggestion when you do all your black? Remove the plastic cowl in front of the windsheild and do that too. Looks 100X better than the stock black plastic

Looks good, but i'm not a real fan of flake, its to big of a sparkle for me, i prefer pearl or metalic paint. Nice job though.

Im going to claim another first here..... Paint job getting me off a ticket.

Im coming home after chatting up this bird and getting her some flowers and they have one of them "cop stop inspection" things in Pitman.

So he waves me down and says "hey, your license plate should be bolted onto a bracket on the front bumper !" and I says "yeah sorry man it just got painted".

The sun came down at that very moment, hit the flakes and he stepped back and said "oh wow, I see it now !" and waved me on.

lmao
