I call it a 20ft paint job. Not bad though :)
Did you sand down all that peeling on your hood before you laid paint??

How much time and money did you spend on it?

Did you really paint the car outside?

Did you paint the tail lights on purpose to mimic the Nissan President tail lights?

I like that you painted the plastic rear panel that houses the reverse lights. I also love your signature!
