Finally painted the car.
 
I've had my car for 6 years and its looked like ---- most of the time between the rust and primer. i'm happy to finally have it looking decent. the paint is olive drab from hot rod flats. it came out pretty good considering we did it in the garage. also i just picked up a carbon fiber moon roof. its worth it considering the stock one was swiss cheese.. check it out

Stealth looking.

Is it really supposed to be that flat looking or did you paint it without a respirator :X :S and then forget to spray the clear on it? :1

i like the flat paint, u did a good job spraying it, the color isn't that bad. The only thing i'm not really diggin is the clear new corner light and the old looking headlight. I say paint the corner light with the extra paint u might have....it'll look way better lol


Looks good otherwise.

That's what I was going to say. I've seen a few cars like that, so it won't be the first, but I think it's still pretty rare and sweet looking. I usually hate ricer paint jobs, but I think it would work alright as long as you're boosted and don't put a body kit or some gay wheels on it.

the only other thing i'm doing on the outside is some flat black slipstreams.

oh and the stock side moldings that i can't find for the life of me.
