looks good in person too. I bought rustoleum white and put it in my spray gun and went to town. needs a wet sanding and a nice wax, but it looks much better if u ask me 2 tone is ftl

i vote closer pics! and yeah, it looks like he did the same thing i did, which is take the stock piggy sigs and put em in the chuki front end.

when i realized my $40 fiberglass front end was chuki, i said "oh well" and made my piggy sigs work anyway. lol.

Nice work!!!Looks good to me. I have done some nice paint jobs even with spray bombs but you have to take your time and make sure all the prep work is done right,(sanding,bodywork etc), laying on paint is easy

that looks pretty good, but NEED better pics to really make a judgement.

so the paint was $30. what about the rest of the equipment (spraygun, compressor...etc) what else was all involved, and how much? inquiring minds wanna know.....
