    Door to fender color match under harsh lighting. I just finished the whole passenger side with the white pad. Pulled into sunlight. Holy hell hologram city. ROFL. Luckily the deck lid looked like this too prior to the black pad so hopefully that cleans up the pass side too. If not I have my...

    Tonight my friend got the rest of the hood done. I got the top of the deck lid and the drivers side of the bumper done. Spent about 2.5 hours on it and called it a night. This thing is gonna be sweet with no orange peel. Just smooth as glass paint. Can't wait.
