Beautiful Payaso, I love it... I need it. Shit, now I have to blow off the rest of my responsibilities and build me a contender for the contest. Stupid job and house and friends and family and pets, always gettin' in the way of little cars... well not anymore.. fuck'em all, I got a car to build!

Super nice, payaso. Your paint jobs have a unique quality about them. Not super glossy, but nice rich color that doesn't seem really thick. Are you using acrylics? Usually for me to get a really nice paint job with enamel I have to lay it on so thick it almost fills in the panel lines. Been thinking of trying acrylic for the fume angle anyway.

I've been saving all my sweet rides for the right contest, and this is the one.

Thanks for the props homies... Most of my paint jobs are done with straight up cheapo generic spray enamels from "K-Mart", and stores like that. The flat colors lay like airbrush paint, and dry in about 15 min. So for a buck a can, and some weird colors, I can't beat the stuff.. It's amazing how many cool colors there for your outdoor lawn furniture..

I might clear coat it before it's all said , and done

Great work there payaso, like superfly mentioned earlier, your paintjobs always have this crisp feel about them that makes them stand out from other cars...

I got a question: what do the alloys look like that come with the car? cuz to me it looks like they're not there in the pics, or they're hollow lol
