Actually i just used some cheap ebay single stage paint. Paint looks good in pictures but not so great in person thats why i resprayed my whole car again, and im going to invest in some better quality paint from a local bodyshop.

im pretty certain next time around Im going to get the premixed junk from auto zone. Just so if i need to touch it up its easily accessible. I dont care about it being show quality, due to my next one being daily/fun dedicated.

Even though your car needs to be dropped it looks better than my project right now! But nice idea w/ the gloss black. it's either white with a black top or black like yours.

the pile as I picked it up.
