    $2.73 + $60 = nice hood

    lol i did one hood by hand...

    so i did the roof and pillars of my truck with a powered buffer! still sore from both, need to do some more later on this week.

    I'm really suprised though, the paint before hand was non reflective, now its shiny :D

    Wait a minute... what are you doing to the original hood?! I see you kinda smoothed out the small dent.

    I LITERALLY said out loud to myself "OH GEEZ" when I saw that. I was hoping for white. Pinstripe, either with paint or stripe tape, the edges of the gold in black or white. It would probably look good that way.

    Yeah, I know it's not perfect at all. I believe i'll be grabbing another can of clear effex in the near future.... that tiny ass can left me spraying tiger stripes.... blah.

    Anyway, not as bad as i expected but better than what I thought it shouldve been. right in between.




    and the sun part came out bigger than expected.... haha

    Less time playing with spray paint, and more time doing side jobs to buy short tires. Thats my advise. That, and to lower it more :D
