    I think that it will look hot as hell.

    I'm using a rustoleum acrylic enamel. It's called "gloss white", which needs to be changed to a better color name. .. lol. but i just mix with mineral spirits and apply with a roller. simple as that.

    uh...how do you think they would sell a product without being able to attach paper?

    I personally like the contrast that a black is lip, valence, and side skirts provide, but with your current mods (shaved and zender skirts) I think that would look pretty damn good. The painted lip and rear valence will look good with painted skirts. Those three things have to match up color wise IMO or it looks goofy.

    Great work though man, really shows what a little elbow grease and creativity can do.

    Well this shit is interesting. I have been worked in body work (spray) when I was younger. I cannot wait to see the finished product. It looks glossy without much "orange peel".
