I've been going back and forth with this mod. Buy a Vista Blue Rad cover from Midwest and have my stripes painted on it, or keep it black, and use that space to put out the two magazine Reader's Rides copies that my car was in (which is what I do now. I lamenated the page and cover of each mag, and have them next to each other on the cover, under the lip of the cover). Decisions, decisions!!

Looks KILLER dude!! I love it!!!

I started an adhesion promoter, then used a filler primer, then 5 coats of black and then 5 coats of clear. All of the paint was Dupont duplicolor.

This might be a moronic question but all the products you are talking about; can they be found in a can or is it just for mix and spray guns????
