Thats right GET MONEY
I've had this one in the shop for a while now and just recently started bust'n ass on it getting it done,.....(luckly my boy that own's the car is over sea's, so he wasn't in to much of a hurry)
Anyways, he's comming back around december......Just in time for one hell of a christmas present
Here's what the vehicle looked like when it first arived......





And then I had to destroy that beautyfull shine with some 400 grit.......



^^^^That's my buddy Derek He helps prep every now and then
Back on topic,....The car was extremly straight exept for som cracks in the fiberglass body kit....and a few bubbles?? in the back bumper.....


so I ground out the cracks and re-fiberglassed the back of the bumper......








Then came alittle mud work



and then the first coat of primer is sprayed......


And the back bumper with it's mystery bubbles


Well they were in the gel coat,...... and sanded out smooth


Now it needs to be shaved the fuck up.............

And here she is blocked out, taped up and ready to go!





I alwasy like to start new paint jobs out with a fresh coat of sealer









And next came an extremely metalic, silver base.....At this piont I'm still not 100% sure what I'm gonna do to this one, But since I know it's going to be Black & Red Kandy, I went ahead and sprayed the entire car silver.........









And Like I said befor eat this piont I STILL don't know how I'm going to seperate this 2-tone.......

So,......For the first time EVER, I decided to FREE-HAND the top color (basically bust'n a 2-tone without taping anything off )

and ON TOP OF THAT!.......as I was spraying the black, I decided to do somthing totaly different and reverse the color's from one side to the other (without having 2 different paint jobs or having it split down the middle)........

And this is what I came up with.......

-black on top of the driver side......-Red Kandy on top of the passanger side.....-With the entire front bumper Red Kandy .....-And the entire back bumper Black.............



And here's how it turned out











The next time I post will be with pics of "Get Money" covered in Crystal Clear Flake

Thanks for the great reply's already guy's!
