    Hmmm maybe I'll do that with the Erebuni kit and install it myself. I'm thinking of just selling it off... don't have the time to install at a shop :|

    VERY interesting.... prep is for sure the most important thing, but for the cost of materials and his effort, those cars looked awesome.
    I don't know if I would try it on my car, but it was impressive!

    Default I painted some fine funiture

    with a roller then followed it with a fine brush, came out looking like it had been sprayed on.

    Part of the trick was the paint had a lot of self leveling additives.

    Wow. Reading a few page of that it seems to really make sense.. I dont have a beater to try it on but now I'm not afraid to pickup a beater if a good deal comes by.

    I think it's a great idea. No stincky mess, no waste. Not that I'd actually do it, but if I ever have the need, I'll certainly think about it.

    A Bimmer Nut for sure: '04 530im (current daily driver), '97 m3, '98 323is, '99 Z3, '01 740iL, '06 330cicm zhp, '02 R1150R, '69 r60, Owner/Operator of www.Bimmer.info and www.BimmerNut.com
    And I still maintain: '90 535im (sold to daughters best friend, one of my favorite bimmers), '92 525im (daughters other best friend now drives this one).
