Nice Das.. did you use flat paint then go over it with clear coat?

How many layers?

Thanks ^_^

Nick.
No clear coats. It was Olive green and flat black. Don't remember how many layers.

Estneon.. Why would i spend $1,200 on a paint job? When my car only cost me $300

I might as well just burn the money.. Would be just as useful.

10 cans of paint and a good person to do it.. worth the 40$ or w/e it costs..

Watch using spray can clear coat. It does not dry nearly as hard as normal clear coat and thus, any bugs or rocks that hit your car are going to leave smudges/smears and such.. Take me word on it, I did it to my Camaro
