Not sure if this is the end result picture because the cars white but its the only one I saw hah.

Looks really good, thanks for taking the time to do some pictures. This could possibly be a good "How to", might want to show a mod and see what he thinks about it.

You just waiting on them to dry now?

LSChris

The only problem is that you didn't remove the wheel weights when you painted them.
