    Only able to appreciate it in the dark

    Well as the title sates, I had to go black with it. As many of you know I recently painted my car from silver to DS. I was happy with it but I really can only appreciate it in the dark. Therefore, back to the drawing board. Now gloss black with shaved key holes and removal of rock chip protection on front and rear lower valence. I think it gives it a cleaner look. I will take more pics once I color sand and polish it out. I also added a nardi personal steering wheel with quick release, and changed out the worn out shift knob and pedals. Let me know what you guys think. Cheers

            ha ha I wish! the way I look at it I still paid less than what a shop would charge and Ive changed color twice. Fortunately a friend of mine knows the owner of the booth that we rented so he got me in. Plus the experimenting / learning painting has been great.

                lol, 2 new paint jobs in 3 months? you're lucky with so much resources, time, and money. Car looks fantastic by the way. Gloss black goes great with the finish of your rims.
