Yessir we did. We are going to put one more coat on it just for the sake of my sanity (and there is one spot where it didn't turn out perfect because we were painting it in the dark) and when we do that I will take a bunch of pictures from different angles in different light and up close to give a better idea of how it looks. If anyone is in NC/Myrtle Beach are and wants to see it by all means let me know and where you are and the next time I am in your general area I will let you know so we can meet up if you would like. I do a lot of traveling around this area.

Spray painting a Black car at night... Ooook.

The matte looks different/interesting so for what it's worth fair enough. If it came out with no bubbles or debris imprinted in the drying paint good on you for that.

But honestly, the spray painting isn't my it's the taillights...

What is wrong with the smoked taillights?

lol that isn't there anymore. It was a joke to piss off the cops because they said mine was too dark when it wasn't so I taped off a z and painted the rest black took it to the station and was like "well you can clearly see all the parts of the taillights that need to be visible for them to be legal so here is my fixit ticket sign off on that and i will be on my way". They are back to being completely smoked now we stripped them and smoked them again while we painted the car

LoL Okay.

But the whole doing it just as an 'eff you' isn't necessarily a good thing... Just draws bad attention/animosity towards the vehicle, but as with the premise of this thread, to each unto their own.

Still waiting for high quality pics. I'm kinda wondering about matte black vs a gloss black. Since I dunno if we're ever gonna get a dark [better] blue.
