StanDaManTX;
the paint is a 2 part called "soft green". its an 09 kia color. i did it over a bright white base. it has a ton of metallic in it.... fairly inexpencive too.... around 30 bucks a quart.

 

Very nice!

 

Very very very cool.

 

You've done a fine job young man.

 

Wow!! You sure do have an eye for style. A lot of people could spend 10 grand and not get anywhere near that result. Congrats on a job well done. Beautiful car!

 

Nice booth!
