    I wish I could have saved mine. With the money it would have cost I ended up getting a geo instead.

    i cant say i ever liked those year model cars, but dang man, i can only hope that someday i can almost paint half as good as that. so far all i done is a guitar, and it turned out ok, but its not the best, but in my defense id never painted with anything other than a brush and it was metallic paint on a cheap wood guitar. (but i still think i could've done better) i did learn the importance of prep work to a good paint job though. but anyways, amazing paint job, man. it looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. and that red is flawless.

    Wow! I was wondering if you did. At some point in time, I'll try painting but was worried about dust. It doesn't look like you had any problem! :thumbs2:
    I'll be painting in a 2 car garage.
