You do know you can take it apart right? . . . would probably take less time than taping everything. Just trying to help . . . looks like you broke the door mirrors.

Definetly get all that stuff off. Take off the wheels, chassis, windshield, etc. Then take off the hood and doors and paint them seperately.

actually it really is! i tested it before i put it on my vette and it works great... i just finished my 3rd coat like 10 minuts ago so i guess ill have the camera with me when i go downstairs

[NOS_racerX]

ok i got the pics of it the link above should work... and i know it doesnt show detail in the pics but dont think ive painted the hood closed cause after every coat dries i go cut them open with an ex-acto knife

[NOS_racerX]

argh! 4th coat and its still neon...

[NOS_racerX]

wow this sucks!! i put some paint thinner on the front and all the red,primer,and silver came off so now im reprimering the whole d@** front and im just really pissed off right now... i want to burn my car and the d@** "racing red" thats really pink!! ARGH!!
