Save the Skyline... Repainting progress

This Skyline is about 1,5 years old. Bought directly after release. Was the one of the first times painting it. Gave it a clear coat... Never should have done that. Paint looks like the skin of an orange now!!! The car looks great, just the paint... So I striped the hole car today and I'll repaint it next week. Fixing my beautifull Skyline. Hope it turns out nicely. Maybe some other color would be nice... Suggestions???

Nice idea mike. Unfortunately it has been done before... I'll think it over. Thanks for the support, I'll show the results soon.

Well got some results... :disappoin Screwed up the paintjob... :banghead: Everything went well until I came to my first layer of wet coat. I know how to paint, that's not the problem. I'll get myself some Castrol Super Clean to strip all the paint. Should have done that before I started :banghead: Here it is:

Looks pretty bad huh... Isn't there anything positive about this??? Yes there is!!! Made a great looking muffler out of aluminium for it. Crushed a turnsignal in the front when I was removing it so puttyd it away, removed the rear wing for a bigger CF one and putty down the old holes and it all looks very tight sooo... Within two weeks from now :sunglasse :sunglasse :sunglasse I promise :grinno: Oh and btw color looks awesome with the white rims don't you think???
