ok dont hate to much.. i didnt want to change up the color too much so i just repainted the factory white and added alot of pearl and some flake to the mid coat. and made my own line for the black. i always seen people do the two-tones on that hard body line so i took a risk and tried to make my own body line. what do you think?? keep in mind im an amature painter and did all the painting in my garage with my moms house fan to blow the paint out of the garage..... oh as for the black engine bay... i ran out of pearl and i was gonna go mix up some more at my work but we had 2 of the six pearls and flake discontinued so thats why i had to paint the bay again but i got to tuck some more things while i was at it.

FROM THIS:


TO THIS:






paint: PPG goldmist, bright white, silver, ice crystal blue pearls and white and a little bit of gold mini flake over taffeta white. with 4 coats of PPG Global performance glamour clearcoat.

i think he's talking about all your pieces because none of them go with the car. It actually looks better from the side with it unpainted but the closer you get the more you see. Your engine bay is clean though.

IMO, 6th gens don't look good with a two-tone line up that high because there is no way to make the line continue very well in the are where the window, mirror, hood, fender meet up front.

but the paint looks like it was laid down very well. and its nice to see some go with that "show".
