2 coats of primer (white), 2 coats of base, 3 coats of clear (i put more clear coz i wanna color sand- well we have to coz we have some orange peel here and there, finish is not a glass smooth yet, so definitely color sand for the win lol)

the diffuser was custom by s2winks aka omar..its made of aluminum plates and sheeets, riveted together... gud looking diffuser imo, coz its simple and its clean looking but im not sure how functional it is yet coz we havnt trackit but this car is fast on the canyons, i mean hella fast--so i guess maybe it has a function, at least for this car...

LOl, yeah i needed a paint job really bad, the car was looking like a riced out honda.
We pulled the front fenders, real fenders like j's, mirrors shaved and the antena shaved. We had everything primered so it was looking really crappy.

guys...thanks for all the comments...it was hard work for us...it has minor runs of clear coat but i know it can be color sanded with a 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper.

i say its a B+ work...the quality of work is between a one day paint job from maaco and an oem quality paint job.

this is my first complete whole car paint DIY coz usually i just do panels or portions of the car.

and yea i will paint ur car for some old english 40 oz. and some large bj's pan pizza lol...and u buy the paint and all the needed stuff like sand paper,tape,etc.lol

Origionally I said ill be happy with a C but B+ im defntly happy.lol
Good job kuya!!!!
Cant wait till we do ur car.
