Make sure you have a solid layer of primer because this stuff sprays hot!

This is definately the most work I've ever put into a paintjob, but it looks like it paid off!

How did you thin it down? With what thinner?

Car looks nice, though it could use some lowering, specially the front.

We thinned the nail polish with Duplicolor Automotive thinner we picked up at a local auto parts store. A good rule of thumb is to thin it to the consistency of milk and spray it through an airbrush.

Yeah I know it could probably be lowered, but this was my first attempt at non box stock wheels. I'll put more effort into it next time.
