Candy ! Got to love it , but you must have big balls Gazza , unless it 's going to be a show piece . Bad enough with any shiny shit , some real nice metalic reds on the new cars
Personally I think you can't beat a well done acrylic job . Then again , I recall as a younger fella , my old man painting the FJ ute with sky blue enamel . Looked alright considering it was laid down with a 3 inch brush . :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock:
I would rather work on a Morris 1100 than use a computer !!!!!!

After driving my purple ek for 12 years it's made me a big fan of factory coloured cars just lowered, they look sweet.
I'm painting my chopped fb wagon white with a goddess gold flash and roof.

Hey Gaz , you still want a front clip ? If so are you talking subframe only or the whole front .
