| Thanks Ali! Allan - yer i am planning on running a 275/30/18 on the rear (currently 235's) but i have 25mm bolt on spacers waiting to go on the rear and 15mm bolt on spacers for the front so i need to see how much room i have left to play with once they go on |

| Looks fantastic! Really nice job on the clearcoat; it's got that depth that truly makes the car look like new! Now lose a few of the stickers and she's just about perfect |

| haha thanks everyone! I'd be happy to do 2k repaints in the same color, but that price wont include premium products and most things would have to be masked unless owners were happy to strip their cars prior to me receiving it. with me doing everything, you would probably be looking at 3-5k depending on what body work needs doing, add 1k for premium paint products (spies hecker) but most places would do a good job for around 5k. all depends on what needs to be done and how far you want to go. |

| Hi Omar, that is very pretty man, Can you tell me the actual colour? Do you have to use a 2 pack to get that level of finish or does the 2 pack just last longer? Cheers John |

| The color is the standard soarer 6m2, but i did substitute one of the fine silver metallic tinters for a coarser silver metallic. i also substituted a blue pearl tinter for a gold pearl tinter that only shows under direct light/sunlight. 2pack allows for direct gloss off the gun and quicker curing times, so no endless sanding and polishing like with older acrylic paint materials to get that flat shiney finish. And yes, 2pack will also last longer provided it is looked after. |
