Oh dear god......why in all that is holy did you choose that color. Fuck, i think the color of our old work trucks was bad with them being painted "baby shit green." Please tell me there is not god damned flake in it. It would look just like one big gay Easter Egg.
Remind me to slap the ever living shit out of you then slap your wife for allowing you to do it! You dont deserve the snap on logo that your tool box wears, in fact you deserve husky or some other shit brand.
Let the blind man down the street pick out the color next month please.
Vents are still crooked!
Eh, actual paint job looks nice. You finally learned how to use that rattle can.

I hope that yellow isn't what you are keeping and going with some sort of candy color.

Your a retard Terry, lol. That is not the color I picked. That is a base coat, then a color of Kandy is being layed over top of that.
You must not have known that if you lay a different color of base down before another color that it can drasticly change the color you lay over it, hense why I am using a gold base, to change a color completely that goes over that.
Wow.
edit: I never touched the vents either because I dont mind how they look.

ROFL. Sorry Mike, I have to agree with Terry.
Fine, since all you guys think they look that bad, which now that I stare at it a lot, I some what agree, I will go ahead and fix that top line on the scoops so they are straight. Happy.
Tsk tsk.

Yea they are not show quality perfectly straight, but the more and more I looked at it and got other opinions, they didnt look that bad to me or I would have fixed them when I molded them in the first place.
Oh well, loading all pics now of the finished body...

Well, here she is...
Phase 4: Applying the Kandy color. The color is House of Kolor Kandy Tangerine. This took 3 coats to get on even and spread properly since Kandy is EXTREMELY thin and transparent.
Phase 5: Unmasked everything and retaped everything off again for Clear Coat. I personally like doing this because sometimes the paint buildup on the plastic will flake off when you keep spraying over it. So the car was masked off again and was hit with four medium coats of House of Kolor Kosmic Klear. This is the first time I used this clear, and I must say, it is the best that I have ever used and will continue to reuse this stuff. It was very easy to lay down.
And she is finally unmasked and the finished product. Now, she is not done yet fully. I will get to wetsanding and buffing the whole car about a week from today. Next week, I will shoot both the doors, the front bumper and the hood and it will be complete. Sorry for all the dust nibs on my camera lense!
And I dont think I like the red tail light on the orange, so I think i am going to spray a real light coat of NiteShade over all 3 tail lights, I think that will look nice.

P.S. I will get some pics of it tomorrow outside in the sunlight so everyone can see what it really looks like!
