    derek and tiger were totally right and i'm pretty sure i'll redo the whole PS leading edge one day there are a few lousy spots there.



    but the other side's nice...


    now i really have to paint that wiper arm...


    to sum it up...

    -fenders are basecoat only, painted by a pro (then retouched by a 'pro')
    -doors are off another schwarzI car with a cheap clearcoat
    -rest of car is factory paint with even cheaper clearcoat
    -hood and grill basecoat only brushed by an amateur
    -[bumper] brushed by same amateur with $5 paint

    mega thanks jeff for the help, and mike i like your style, brother... couple coats of road ick and noone will notice !

    For a second there I thought you fixed the dent, really cant see it easily. I liked the hood and grill better before you painted it... more character.
