It looks really good man. I love how it looks now with the flares. Once the cover gets painted it will look really good. A nice spoiler would set it off really good. Perhaps the handles should get the Intense Blue treatment too lol
Edit: Just realised you have a spoiler...Thought I remembered seeing a spoiler on it when it was yellow lol

nvm found a paint site that lets you choose aerosol, can etc etc. But how long does all this take you man? Are you doing clear coat as well? or is it not necessary?

hmm well thats good! and well today it was 80 degrees and perfect weather for painting! it took me 1 day or 5 hours to get the roll pan looking like that w/ only maybe 1 more coat of clear...and yeah i use clear coat. when i dont if you can see in the first pic of my roll pan its really bright blue. when i use the clear it darkens it, protects it and makes it shine :') when/if you do this ill do a write up of how i did everything exactly haha
