How does it affect YOU how it was done, or what he is doing next. If you havent got anything good to say, dont say anything at all. Damn some people on these boards are nasty.

Free is betta, no matter what quality! My car looked shita s after I painted it, only with hours of cutting and polishing did it look good, that's acrylic for ya, So don't give anyone crap, as it may turn out, and hopefully will after they put in the after effort in polishing it will almost if not as good as a pro acrylic job. Seriously, liker above if you got nothing good stay don't say it at all, dammit you guys.... :evil:

here we go again :roll: ok, all i said was that you can see alot of imperfections in the job, which is from not prepping the car the right way, its constructive critisism, if everyone just said everything was good what kind of boring world would it be. the only way you can improve is if you know that there is room for it! it doesnt cost much to get a good job from a can

I liked the silver green as well, but the black does suit the clubby's tough look. 8)
