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
there's two ways to argue about this, if the whole thing is dry it doesn't matter anyways, i use plastic and paper together.

paper is cheap but sometime you'll bleed in the stuff, there's always pros and cons to every technique.

looks great, looks like you need a better guns and regulator

Super
Gun would make the biggest difference and knowing the proper mix would top it out.
Thanks for the comment

i don't understand why you did a DIY paint job on a S2K... IMO from what i can tell you could have gotten a better paint job for $500 at maaco
