my zx14 brandywine kandy house of color over black base with gold ice pearl
wifes bike 2 tone pearl blue
i've got plenty more, i've painted friends small pick up pearl white all myself start to finish, i'm just not comfortable enough to shoot kandy all over. I shot the base coat on the jambs on my car and painted the wood pieces to match start to finish but thats small stuff. Hes a very good painter and that goes a long way. Sure theres contamination problems, dirt...etc, thats what wetsanding is for and trust me it took a long time.

thanks for all the compliments guys it def means alot, since i worked my *** off on this project. Once you get caought up and take a step back you really arent sure anymore if its worth all the work. If i had the $$ i would love to pay somone to do the paint, i just aint got it like that.Exhaust will be fixed next week for sure...going to try to duplicate the fireball megas as best as i can without spending the $$.

its transparent paint so i'm sure it will look fine, i havent tested it out yet though. Make sure you get adhisive promoter, wipe the markers with some type of wax&grease remover, spray the promoter let dry then about 3-5 coats of niteshades did for me. I'll see how i feel i might get the vertex clear corners later.

standard because i wanted to go flush and and low and that cant really be obtained with softer spring rates due to suspension travel(too much of it) The ride is not terrible, not awsome defanatly stiffer then stock strut/espilir combination
