Re: new look for my ride
You are a brave individual! That is a very large undertaking! You've obviously painted vehicles before. It definitely creates new lines on the car, the cross (or X) is almost invisible. Different for sure, one of a kind. Now, you need to lower it or put some large wheels on it, or do both! The black Mandrus Millenium wheels with a diamond cut lip would look spectacular on it!!

Re: new look for my ride
i do agree i need wheels. thats something thats hard to talk the wife into letting me do. although i did put 20's on her tahoe. i was thinking a black wheel with a wide machined lip also. i just think it would fit right and tie in with the black stripe.
i'm sending that email now dan, you have my attention.
i'm not going to lead anybody on here. i was going to shoot that paint myself, but my dad offered and i was using his help anyways. it was with his tools and building so i let him do it. i layed the graffix and did most the prep work and he was behind the gun. he's not a painter, but has been doing auto body for 30+ years. i play with an airbrush every once in a while. i'm sure if i would have painted it, i'd need alot of wet sanding. as is, there's hardly any orange peel, you really have to search for it.
i can't remember the colors name, but its a ppg color out of their viberant collection. not cheap at all. even that black for a pint was $51.
