              Yea! not bad for a rattle can job!

              for the time it took you to tape off the lights, licence plate (!?!), and rear 1/4 windows i would have just removed them, and then you wouldn't little pieces of blue sticking out from around them.

              also be interesting to see how long it lasts since it looks like you didn't sand at all, i'm guessing it'll last for a while but will get nicks from stones fairly easily. good thing you've got huge mud flaps!

                        thanks guys.

                        it took me 6 cans and took maybe 2 hours start to finish. i would use 7 if i did it again, just for final touchups and things like that. we also did several coats.

                          flat black is the only way to go in my opinion. it says I MEAN BUSINESS on any car. Looks tough - Chris
