cwillis. i cannot find a good site that actually gives a decet price. Companys only have the basic facotory color match rattle cans. For example my color is Deep Amethyst, but they only have the touch up scratch fix. And my ass isnt painting like that :p haha. Im guessing the guy that has this technique got them at one of his local auto stores.

All of the local stores stopped carrying my color:( I have to redo a few spots on my drivers side so I guess im gonna have to order it online. I think im just gonna use some flat black or something like that to do my grill and front bumper when i get it and then do the fender flares and the door trim and the back bumper the same to make it look a little more finished. It looks like you did a really good job with yours though.

haha, im thinking about just doing them in glossy black.. i think it maybe just a lil to much blue. + whenever i get the $$$$$ i want to powder coat the R/T's gloss black like i told you lol :D

Well so far I've just done my tails and upper brake light and think that will be about it. Two coats of Nite shades with body color frames. The lenses are usually totally black but the light was really shining down on them in the pic. Also rolled in a coat of Herculiner, gotta do one more here tomorrow.

well not much of a project but.... i just got some R/T coils and they were in good condition and everything but....i wanted something different. intense blue from duplicolor is $7 a can and im not going to paint these with that damn paint when you cant even see it.... lol so i had primer and this blue laying around that was never to be used again lol so i said hell with it.... it is brighter then intense blue but this pic makes it look waaaaaay brighter. its not as bad with the amount of paint i have on it now bc that was 1 coat there... still deciding if im going to look for some clear coat with metal flake or not just to make it pop a bit... and protect it. + i dont even know if its going to crack the paint as soon as i put them on lol so it was a free project
