          Dont get me wrong I love the color black too but if you've got any imperfections...ANY... black will show it like a mofo and I'm too lazy to be perfectionist plus I live on a gravel road too hard too keep clean

              yeah... hell, if you do it yourself, it's only $100 to do a House of Kolors show job on it.

                The paint job is looking good. Now you need some clear corners. And then you can get some rims, and it will be all sexy then.

                    I've always thought it would be awesome to have a black metallic finish with a pearlescent bright blue that shows in the sun..mmm

                    I've got a sprayer and all, I might look into this...

                      where is this magical place that you can buy enough HOK paint for a full size car for $100? i could see just the standard shimrin basecoat costing around a bill, with the reducer. but clearcoat and activator included...? nevermind primer, sealer, sandpapers, and all the other little things required.

                          When you paint a car, the paint usually isnt the expensive part of materials, its the clear coat thats hella expensive.

                          Looks good though :)

                            Glasurit clear runs about $180 per gallon (with shop discount) and activator runs around $80 for the gallon (also with discount). probably one of the best clearcoats ive ever had my hands on. ive been told "glasurit" is german for "glass like" and i believe it, if you wait more than one day to wetsand youre going to be in for one hell of a job...
