  • Before and After photos

    Here are a few photos showing my new paint job.
    It started out as a blue base oat with metal flake in it.
    Then I coated it with a soft feel, matte clear coat.
    I think it turned out pretty good, and the clear coat is a tough resin epoxy that can withstand scratching it with a key.
    Let me know what you think.

    Looks pretty good from the pictures. Little fuzzy on the pics, but what we can see looks good.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

          Looks good from what we can see, but would you be able to take a closer pic of the flake in the sun ?

          Nice pipes but I gotta warn ya, they are gonna drag 'cause they are way too low.

          Even a Standards are up near the axle and they drag.

          Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
