The 7 is finally painted..Check it out

Finally finshed the paint project today. It came out real good. Painted it 05 BMW Alphine white. Will let it stit for 2 days then wet sand the clear coat.. What do you guys think? First time painting and I used a base/clear coat on it.. Painted it in my garage.. Now the car should be done for 7stock. New dash and door panels are going in this week..

holy **** he did paint everything!!! even the marker lights and trim!!!

looks great. i like the header panel, the headlight vent, the hood vent, the mariah hatch, the front bumper the skirts (same as mine). hell i like it all, except maybe the taillights. they're just so big, bug then again they do match the foglight holes on the bumper.

good job

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm finishing up the interior today and installing the stereo. I'm thinking of making a custom stereo surround out of fiberglass.. Will keep everyone updated..

I still stand by my previous statement. You didn't mask off the any hinges/door/vents handles.

i second that.

it does, however look awesome. i can see not taping the door handles, and maybe even the windshield trim....but the little vents behind the doors? i would have left them.

i do love your body kit, i've got the same skirts as you

Not to be mean, but it looks like a transformer. Which of course makes me think of this picture:


But eh, I dunno, it's weird, it looks like too many cars at once.

Don't get me wrong I like the color and the kit, It's just that things like the vents door handles and such is what makes the paint really stand out if you know what I maen.
