nice brother

what kind of gun and compressor you using? I painted my car with spray cans lol... only reason it came out half decent looking was i did it in-doors and i had a nice base coat.

im going to paint my skyline's when i get back.. cant wait.

looking forward to seeing your finish product.

Hes using a 10 year old snap on gun and a 20 gallon leaking tank it was noisy. The wind was pretty bad today i asked him if it would be a problem and he said no it came out great .Im going to have my wife write out live by the night in hiragana and due some vinyl diagonal across the hood .Now the gallon of paint was bought off ebay for 60.00(shipped) the old man they get the paint from,had been making paint for 50 years .I have no complaints ...
