I've read through your other thread of painting your car semi-gloss. I truly admire your excellent paint skill. Wish I could paint my car like that. The new additions in this thread are nice too.

Thanks everyone! Yea its stupid loud haha. Ill get on that video when I can and post it up for u guys.
Ill get more full car pics up after I get my new rotors on and paint my calipers!
Much appreciated SCWB! I've been workin in the industry for about 7 years now. Definitely have to be good with detail to be a painter, that's for sure. I'm really wanting to start molding me a 4GS fsport bumper soon after seeing other member do it. Sooo badass!
