Drum roll please.....

In base coat





With clear



















The shade of silver is the same if anybody was wondering, the lighting in the paint booth made it hard to accentuate the color. It is 100% hot without a doubt. Can't wait to see it wetsanded and all buffed out.

Steve ensures me that this is only the beginning and that once he rubs it out the shine and deepness of the color will be 100 time better than it already is. Hard to imagine but I don't doubt him.

The car is the hottness.

Also, I talked to him and he's more than willing to paint anything for any of the NICO people for cheap who are somewhat close, so if you need something done, don't hesistate to ask (once he's done with my car that is lol)
