What happened bro, was that I think i accidently used some paint thinner instead of slow reducer...so..near the end of the last bit of paint, I think it reduced the paint so much..all that was basically left, with the metallics, etc. So that is all that sprayed out. I wasn't able to tell till I sprayed the clear...I'm going to have one more go at it this summer.

:cool:
never used thinner with base it melts the primer/sealer! that makes the solvent raise up and cause cracking and fisheye! some shops use thinner to mix clears wich helps with orange peel but i never use the stuff! chemically its a tad bit more potent than reducer!

yeah, I put in just a lil bit of reducer in the clear, I find that helps it to have less orange peel. I ran out of slow reducer and didn't want to drive 30 miles to get some more so I just used some paint thinner I had around. I won't be making that mistake again.

Dropzone Shocks with Maxspeed Coilovers :oops:

Looks really nice. Go with the SiR lip.

For the fog if you want to try yellow, just buy some Yellow tint and installed it, if you dont like it take it off.

Your car looks amazing with that paint, and how you can see I love the look of white Rims. Not the taste of everybody but.

Props on your car, just need some touches but likee you said your working on it. Keep it up....

Looks great, how much did you lower it and are those heads stock or did you tint them?
