that being said, i think it can still look kinda cool on some cars.

Hahaha, my bad... With managing a retail store these holidays have been killing me. Havent had the chance to set up that photoshoot yet. Stay tuned brotha!
Me ? Mad? That's one thing that internet forums are lacking and that is tone. You can tell the other persons tone , for the most part anyways. I have no problem with anyone trying to clearify or correct me sincerly. That is one major plus for this forum is that 99% of responders seem to be genuine about wanting to help and most don't wear the egos on their sleeves.

That was one of my next questions, thanks for asking

I also am looking forward to the new pictures to see how it held up

Thanks for the help so far guys

My car is already black, so could I just have the clear coat sprayed over it?
