Well Just left the shop that did it... The guys that painted it for me told me on the phone it looked horrible... Well I guess to them it does but to me it is AWESOME!!! I bought them some cheap *** Dupla-Color pre mix stuff and it just does not laydown like the paint they use on their $8000-$15000 custom Hotrods paint jobs they are used to doing. Who would have guessed Any way here are some pics!

There is a run in this pic that they are sanding out as we speak... You can kinda see how the paint is not that mirror smooth finish you would expect from a $10000 paint job... I have about $300 in this... Including the body work they did...

Good... If it gets you to stop hollaring out the window at the guys it was worth every penny.
