Well I give you props for stepping up and doing it youself dude. For those of us whos paint looks like s*** before, any change is welcome imo. Not everyone has a few grand to drop on a paint job and as long as your happy with it whos to say otherwise. Good job!

i think it looks pretty good. i cant believe you painted it in 2 days? it took me a month probably between all the bondoing, prep work, and then actually painting. i used a gun, did you just spray paint it? id get rid of the red nissan emblem though, and i wouldnt have tinted the tails. just my imo. nice paint job anyway

I might have to agree with this guy, imo, the red emblem doesn't look too good there...kinda sticks out a little too much

HEHEHE... OK, so I'll rid myself of the red emblem.

I think I may go ahead and paint that horizontal stripe. I may have to go buy another Pint though, I don't know if I have enough... Maybe I do it's a small strip///

I would curve that line from the bottom up. It would give it a similar affect as the lines on an rx-7 fd
