[DSM_ThuNDeR]

Well here is mine, havent buffed it nor did I have time to get the door caps on before the meet. But I like it now. I tinted all the windows and looks pretty decent.

Here's my DIY paint job. Turned out OK. Wish I would have pulled the windows though.

That looks really good what brand paint did you use??

 

[slow gst]

Did you just not use clear or did you use one of those clears that dries flat? Ive been thinking about doing a flat/semi gloss white for my talon and flat/semi gloss for the roof.

The paint I used was sort of a single stage paint, the clear was mixed in with it.

Here is mine. PPG paints and clear coat. I am a auto body tech. All the rust was cut out and new metal put in. It was a full restore. Was a great car sold the shell last summer.

You can get Ratrod black or Matte black from several vendors.

This is the color I want on mine and the pictures of slow gst's made me want it even more.

there is nothing sexier than a matte black finish.... especially on a well prepped body. Love this car...

They're 4g wheels.

 

[kchaazz]

My Laser RS AWD. My friend is shooting it "Sparkling Black Mica"; its a Mazda color. Dupont paint. I pulled all the glass, all the trim and bumpers, interior, hatch, rubber, etc. Should be getting it back in the coming weeks and Ill post better pics when I put the shell back together.

 

[DSMReviver]
