I not trying to be a d*ck I'm just telling you in advance so when it happens you will be less mad.  |
in all honesty, you don't. all vht is, is a clear coat with a little black mixed in... that's why i said a VERY light first coat, gives it more crap to bond to on the later coats... but then again, i do have a lot of experience with rattle can junk... i painted an 84 camaro with wal-mart color place paint and clear coat
not too bad for a $40 paint job... (bought the car for 300, sold it for 2500)

To each is his/her opinion. Heck, I prefer the GT-R to the 370z, but I have other reasons why I have the 370… one being money

Funny you should mention that… I am 50/50 on powder coating them black… I have to spray the door handles for sure, but am torn on the rims.

No problem.. it’s a fun task to do while you are just sitting around doing nothing… actually, I’m lying, it’s a tedious task that is time consuming, but I’m happy with the results and the fact I spent next to nothing to have it done.
