just take your time, PREP is key, including proper taping

Black is going to show every flaw, take it back and get CAT yellow

Depends if he goes with a matte or gloss black. Go camo!

it can never be to brite!!! I was going for a very offensive(to the eyes) color scheme with my new paintjob.

I did the all black thing last year but needed change it was to boring but it def looks badass!!!!


but yea prep is everything!!!! take your time with taping too it sucks but a good tape job can make a world of difference. one tip i do have is when taping the windshield make sure you tape down any loose paper that sticks up that could create a path for the paint to go to your windshield.
