Cool. Never seen anyone do the black roof on an S14. Looks good.

You need to spray inside the motor areas like where the intercooler would go to make it look more formal its called cut in. you dont have to use clear in those areas

after the bumper and mesh is on the grill you wont see any of it. The pipes will also cover up most of it too, but if needed i will spray it.

Looks Great!

The 2 tone really goes well with the car.

BTW: doing the "cut in" will be real easy with the motor out of the car, but hard with it in there.

Looks real good, I wish I could paint a car. If I tried it would look like I messed up the krylon touch. Nick

Looking at the larger pics, looks like it could use some wet sanding and another couple coats of clear to get that nice shine. How many coats of paint and clear did you use?

PS: Still looks awesome

Doesn't Ricky Chu's S14 have a paint job sorta like that? He has fugly lambo doors and whatnot, but I'm pretty sure I have the build-up issue where they decided to do the orange and black roof. Regardless, your orange is much more subdued, looks a lot cooler. Sweet work.

gabossie- has been wet sanded again last night. We have 3 more coats of clear to put on.

There is another car on the west coast that has a real similar paint job. His is black roof with tangerine orange candy. It is alot lighter color
