Haha yeah I noticed that. I think this phone has a wide angle lens on it and it sometimes distorts things.

So I was cheap on how many cans of clear (1) can lmao...and was scared to put too many layers. Very hard to do without it running....especially using a can. So I stopped before I got frustrated lol

Put them on just to see...might turn to a perfessional to get it to perfect

Z got keyed last week. A fellow car enthusiast from my alma mater reached out to me when he heard what happened; he polished all of the marks out of my paint earlier tonight free-of-charge and even polished my headlights to brand new condition. Good people are still out there.

King>Youll need a paint gun along w the color coded paint from auto paint store to get it a closer match. It'll still be hard w silver also as I've seen them brighter/darker. Best to have them blend into the door+hood.

Thanks man for the input....the paint is the paint code and not some random silver....

Question since you're a paint guy ...right now it's just paint should I not clear it and polish the paint?

I'm no professional. Done some jobs here and there. Ylbut yea Itd give the gloss shine. Thats the job of the clear, the base will never get a high gloss and not supposed to. The clear does that part and it may lighten it up some also. hard to tell from pics.

Ya I did front end and pass fender of mine. Nothing is "perfect" but is a very close match. we have to realize paint lays down diff on metal and plastic so you will see a little diff. I'll be doing front end again as I cracked the hell out of it(lower molded lip) down towards z nationals. Oh well **** happens.

Just placed an order on some Berk test pipes today! I think a tune is next on my list as my bolt-ons are pretty much done.
