You did It by yourself?!
Nice work man fing02.gif
Looks clean.

Not a fan of the stripe though, but everyone's personal preference

Looks nice from Afar but I'd need to see it upclose to see the quality
Not bad though, and yeah, I don't like the strip, but different tastes,...

Nice job. I used to do body work for my uncle's garage when I was a teen. Prep work sucks!!! Props to anyone that has the patience to do it.

I agree. Need to see a closer shot to see if there's any fish eyes, or orange peel.

What type of gun, compressor, and paint did you use. Single stage or dual?

Like long said though....for it being your first time, it doesnt look too bad from that distance. Each time you do it, you'll learn so much more than the last time. smile.gif
