Can't see the pics brother Hey how much did the paint cost you? I am thinking about changing colors.

in the first pic where your car is being buffed after the pait job. The tap around the window look kinda nice. Reminds me of the aluminum trim you see on Porsche and BMW. It would be interesting to see someone convert the chrome trim to the alloy look. the side trim, not the front.

when you wetsand and buff it gives it more of a clear finish. no swirls etc.
