    Great lookin car.

    When you tape off the area, you roll the edge of the tape, make sure to take a good 10-12" from the area you are painted. Then paint the area you need to, while moving the can further from the body as you get closer to the tape. This will keep from forming a hard line in the paint.

    Wetsanded with 1200 then polished with 3M fine cut rubbing compound and a high speed buffer.

      once again looking great!

      i think if you can remove the dark color on the interior of the spokes the wheels would stand out even more
