lookin good man, cant wait to see color. And if you can, even a cheap HVLP beats a cheap Pressure feed gun, if you can get one of those to lay color with that will make a world of a difference!! Cant wait to see it!!

I am going to have to pick one up. Harbor freight sell them I think. I'll check them out. I got these as gifts for my bday so I'll try them both. Any painting tips would be awesome!

Thanks for the comments I'm getting really excited about this project. I'll probably be rolling around on primer for a bit

the body kit looked really smooth with some paint on it now
are you still going to paint it white with the silver in it?
or did you decide against that cause it would definitely be an
eye catcher with that color mine is stock dover white and everyone
loves it.
