What the f*** is that?

Anyways, looks decent. Much better than 90% of the flat black jobs on here (from what I can tell).

Lets see it at some different angles!

It just got flatt blacked , i made one of those bad decisions when doing the Japanese theme on the side. (which a friend did in 6 days and not enough time ) I may or may not do some air brushing on it . i just want it to be plane .im going to have my wife write out live by the night in Hiragana and i will put it on the hood (vinyl) until i see how much S**T people give for it . (Diagonal )

looks pretty good. there seems to be a little orange peel in some of the photos but it came out decent. i do have to take off a point for not removing the vents in the bumper, and the vc needs a little polishing but very nice work so far

orange peel? That is a picture of wet paint lol. and its a mixture of flat black and satin, who cares about the smallest imperfections.

pauliedrft...looks good bro, like the wheels too

yeah i wasn't being harsh, just giving some feedback. i for one, like having my chuki vents a nice glossy black to break up the color a little, but you could always pull em out and do em later if you really wanted. yeah that pic taht shows it dry is nice, it looked a little like orange peel in the other one.
