is that a pin stripe you painted over??? it really doesn't look too bad. I started reading with all kinds of pictures going through my head on how it would end up, but not bad at all. How about some pics from about half the distance from your far off shots? Now you have me concidering this............

what's the reason for that color green? There might be a reason you don't normally see Mustangs that color

Did you read any of it or just look at the pictures?

Looks pretty good for the price. Can't beat a 50 buck paint job

I picked it because it was different.. I see to many black, red, blue, white, etc... It was a tossup between an orange color and the green, and I figured the darker color would come out a little better. I wanted it about another shade or two darker, but its not bad.


And no, not going to put any clear on it. Its a waxable surface as it sits, and I like that if it gets any scratches or knicks in the paint I can sand the area and paint that spot again and get it back to looking like the rest of the car with ease. Clear makes that a lot more difficult to do.
