I know where you're coming from. I feel the same way actually, but I gotta represent my squad.

I often wonder how not having a hood became a trendy thing. That is basically the car equivalent of not having your pants zipped up.

My cousin has a PDR business.. he went to the biggest local "import" meet to setup a PDR demo/tent. He posted on Facebook later that night- "Hard to sell PDR services to people that don't even show up to a car show with all of their body panels!" I don't get that fad either..

Back on topic. I think the color could be cool if it was gloss. Also, is it intended to look splotchy or is that just a byproduct of dipping? What I am talking about is the way there is a bright line on either side of the door/fender gap, and the door and fender look like they have a light dusting of guide coat. Mostly noticeable in the side profile shot.

Not really my thing, but it looks like it was done better than many of the jobs I have seen.

I prepped it pretty well with VERY minimal overspray. I have no doubt it's going to come off easy. I've seen him peel the previous ones which wasnt prepped as well and it came off pretty easy. Perhaps some areas which the coats are lighter will prove to be a pain, but overall 8-10 coats should come off easily. At least I hope.

I never understood that part either. I wonder if the body panels started to slant inward towards the gap or something creating a different shade and the color shifting crystals really made it worst but yea...cant explain that either.

Im digging the blue color at certain angles but not a fan of the purple. I think if you did the entire car that blue only would look even better.
