Default Beautiful weather

Haven't touched the camera in awhile, so decided to dust it off and take some pictures. The weather is just simply AMAZING today.





























Starting to miss the yellow. Looking for a stock trunk, after I get one, and another HT, Probably go with another dip color, or just keep everything yellow.

Looks good! I was wondering about the white until you said you dipped it. :-)

Nice! Rattle can'd the wheels again? Looks nice! Is that a replica front bumper or an authentic Amuse? Car looks good either way!

^^i agree! Especially with gold wheels. How much does this vendor charge, Ben?

A friend of mine plastidipped his Miata with rattle cans and looked legit. Not sure if I can rationalize paying for temporary paint, even if it's done by an experienced hand.
I've been wanting to try it out though. The rock chips, scratches, and the keyed "DX" on my trunk (Triple H/Shawn Michaels?!) are getting to me. How many cad did you use, Steve?

Yeah, it looks terrible compared to my last job. Probably going to do something crazy and regrettable to them. It's a shine amuse bumper, fits pretty decent, I had to do some minor filing.

I miss the jellow everyday. I'm actually working on a deal for a OEM top, if that doesn't work out, Amuse replica from RSG to go with the amuse bumper.

I'm actually most likely going back to yellow in November, I miss having a shiny car.

I used the "system" a wagner electric sprayer, ended up being 3 gallons, I really needed 3.5 to get it perfect. SSP didn't have enough gallons of the color I bought to do the car so I mixed an extra gallon and it didn't match. Hence why my bumper looks different, it's missing pearls.

My color is actually White with pearl sand it doesn't photograph well. Plastidip is pretty forgiving for first timers, Mine came out a little textured on the trunk because the sprayer clogged on me on my last half gallon. I got all the dip from SSP. You should consider doing it yourself just for shits.
