yeah the wheels are just matte spray aswell. I looked at powdercoating but thought it might be easier for the next person to buy it to remove paitn if it wasnt to their taste.

$1200 8)


$1200bucks??? I Would be very suspect on the lasting quality of the paint job. For that price it may look good for 6mth even a year but after that who knows

i would be checking that it is a three stage pearl, because for decent paint you wouldent be getting much change from that sort of money.

let alone any labour time. i would be steering away, sounds dodgey!

dont want the
