Here is some pics after I finished with the paint job. I still need to touch up a spot or two but I have to wait until later (the wifeis mad the house smells like paint). A little detail work and it should be finished. The paint is Duplicolor auto spary Royal Blue CC.
I am not the best painter in da hood but I am learnin.....

Wow! That looks great. Amazing how much a fresh paint job can totally change up the look of a ride. Course you didn't putty the holes.... May I suggest adding fog lights to bring it together?

That looks cool. I dig the color.
I think the rear needs just a smidge of some other color.
Maybe just some silver/chrome around the tail lights or on the gas cap?
Or hell, nuttin at all, still looks hot. lol

Yeah I have something in mind for the holes. In the front I have some small amber leds from that crappy ratshack corvette I am wanting to use as parking lights. The rear holes I am going to make some small wheelie bars that will go through them or maybe some small backup lights.

I retaped everything up and put another coat on her just to be safe.This time I didn't tape up the trim around the windows or the grill inserts (I have aplan for this). The whole thing turned out better then I expected. I also painted the gas cap black just for you Cabo.... I also removed the black tape I had in the windows.

Got the driving lights installed. For some reason I thought they were amber but they are not. Either way this pony should have no trouble seeing in the dark.
I wish I could tell you who they are JDM but I have no idea. Just some girls I found on the net.

I've been pretty busy with work and racing this year. I had to take a little break from RC, but I'll be buying some more stuff to pimp out soon, starting with that GT500 zip......
