Decided i was sick of my old oil stained gray primer, so decided to sand it down, re prime and paint satin black with krylons to get a feel for how it looks. Turns out i like how it looks, it gives my car a much more aggressive look.

This weekend it's going to get sanded, primed and painted in a friends garage that he turned into a paint booth. Got my HLVP guns, 20 gallon compressor, 2 gallons of black, and should be ready to go this saturday. Will updated with pics when it gets done right. FOr now here's what she looks like.

I only had 5 cans of satin black so it's a little blotchy but i like it better than before.

Haha thanks man. I think it should turn out alright, got the tools, the space, not really the know how as this will be my first paint job lol, but it should turn out better than what i had before. This weekend also stainless stell braided brake lines are going on, as well as a full 3 inch exhaust w 3 chamber flows, and hopefully lowering springs if i have enough time and can find a cheap set
