Looks sweet. CW is a great colour.

Isn't CW fairly 'matt' anyway? I had a CW DC2 and I seem to remember someone saying that the first years of CW was Matt, and then went to semi gloss.

I could be way off the mark though!

yeah, it looks mat white.
it still needs some polish but it looks kinda cool to rock the mat white.
ive seen a few mat black s2ks but not any mat white,
thanks for the comment.

How did you spray the clear? Did you spray it the same way as the base coats? I always have problems spraying the clear . . . and where did you buy all those clear things to cover the garage LOL

We, [jirro] sprayed the clear different (gun press and paint mix on gun). Its a little different, felt lighter.
And the clear thingis are from Lows, the plastic covers used when painting.
For all those out there NEVER USE PLASTIC TO COVER the car or wheels if painting anyting on the car!!!
When the paint dries, it flakes and goes everywhere.
And use fly repellant. LOL there are 2 stuck in the clear...LMAO
