Default Wow !

when I started this in oct I really thought I would mess something up (not ever have'n done it before) and have to get someone to fix it...But I didn't... I;m so happy my car is 1 color again even if it is primer...in 2 weeks it will be white again ...Yeah !!!!! (I know the front needs a little adjusting) but Yeah !!! [IMG][/IMG]

I have a question. Is there a way to make the primer the same color as the cars paint? Or will it mess up the color of the car?

For example, I have a torch red Vette and any chips from rocks/road debris causes white specks in the paint. If the primer was red then you would not be able to see them... Just a thought?
