ca d88 you probably dont have any up close pics cause you sold the car right?

I attempted my roof but it looked like ass so I now have the strip up top black...the cans I got from Homedepot had a horrible spray nozzle (just a regular spray paint one so it just sprayed out everywhere). I'm going to try it again later see if I cant get it looking better.

I sprayed the gold and instantly took it off. I think I will just stick with the black. The color did not look good with my black Balt. I may hold on to the can just to mess around once in a while. Sorry no pictures. I was hoping more for a bronze but it looked like a cheap gold when finished lol. I can try to spray something else if you guys want to see it though.

I took some pictures of the stuff on a board breds but unfortunately my camera sucks so back at it 2morrow. I really think that this stuff is tough to lay down smooth. I really do not think it would match the tan color of your car that well at all. I would go with black and it is easier to spray. I will try for pictures again like the guy above did. I know I am gonna stay away from spraying my wheels with this now!

Did any of you guys find the glossifier at any local stores? I checked my local ace hardware, lowes, and home depot but all they carry is the black plasti dip. I would love to be able to find the glossifier somewhere so I don't have to order it and can get my evo mod and cross bar done.

I've never been able to find a store that sells anything but black.

So I've been debating this with myself for awhile, I want to get a gallon of flourescent purple plasti dip and spray my wheels with my sprayer/compressor. I'd probably have enough to do my winter TC wheels too. Any thoughts, Too rice? I'd definitely repaint the calipers black.

I'd say too rice, honestly I think it looks good as it is. If anything just add some subtle purple accents.

attempting my hood roof and trunk this weekend

gunna go wingless, get some decals or a big sticker sheet and cut them and place them over the holes from the wing, and then spray over them, well see how it turns out

any pointers on spraying such big areas?

a deep purple wouldnt be bad, it becomes over done and rice when you start getting into the really flashy colors and paints that really stand out

a dark purple would look good IMO
