Hey KZ world ! - I've been living in the paint booth. Tell me what ya think!

Grey Primer, Dodge Green base, 2 coats of Candy "Ice Lime". (All rattle cans)

Had to then block the scratches and un-even
[attachment:3]C:\fakepath\IMG_0675.JPG[/attachment]



[attachment:4]C:\fakepath\IMG_0680.JPG[/attachment]

Two layers of Dodge Green, and 4 layers of candy.

Not too bad

Made my own knee pads, (rubber flats found on the back side of rat traps).

4 coats of Turtle Wax Compound, and 4 coats of Turtle Wax Hard Shell.



I plan to take it to get new Tires and a brake job by Tuesday. Got some final mods to get done this weekend.
