Looks nasty, I like it. I'm so sick and tired of people thinking it looks ricer. Has anyone ever seen an import painted like that, seriously?

Uhhhhh, yep.







Now if you think that the OP's paint job looks anywhere near as good as the one I posted, then you're due an eye exam.

OK, those are imports, but now way you can accuse the owners of those cars as beeing "ricers". I think they all look mean as hell.

These do look mean as hell, along with that Vette I posted. But they didn't get them painted at Earl Scheib back in the 80's. I grew up watching my father paint cars and there is a big difference between the OP's paint job and the ones on the cars I've posted. At least I can see it.

Flat black paint on the windows.

Maybe some polished wheels would help, but one solid color of anything does not look good in my opinion.

That looks like ***. Looks like some sort of half assed military vehicle. Sometimes it doesn't pay to follow trends.
