Looks great. Got an off topic question. Where did you get that drift front from? Looks like a really good fit.

I agree, its different, and not in a bad way.
at least you're trying to learn.
On your own car to boot!

yeah, i mean i know its your first time...but that looks spray painted or something?!?! No auto paint goes on that grainy.....and unglossy. What are you using and whats your method?
it looks like its sprayed w/ flat black to see the highs and lows
Moms & Dads talk to your kids,before its too late,tell them to say no to aluminum wings.
leave the painting to the pros
how do u think people get to be pros.... they learn!
they look nice but honeslt yim not a big fan of eyelids unless they are molded into the body and hood, looks less "cheap" but it gives the headlights a nice look.... just my 2 cents....

its not rattled canned. i'm using paint that my boss got me from an old friend. he gave me a sheet with color samples and i picked the one that i liked and his friend got me primer, paint, clear, and reducer. it was rather inexpensive, so maybe that should have been an indication to me that it was cheap paint. i really like the color though. i sprayed the trunk first and its all glossy and looks good. the rest of the car is a different story. its mainly the hood and fenders that look like crap. perhaps i should have sanded more before adding the first coat of paint. what you see is only the first coat. i just threw everything together for some pictures so that people could see the eyelids. i'm not happy with the way the paint looks so i'll probably sand it down and try again, not a big deal. priming the car was easy and that went on smoothly and looked good. i guess i should have listened to people when they told me that painting was more difficult than priming. oh well, i'm not building a show car here, i'm just trying to teach myself how to do a few things. i shaved the door handles, lock, and antenna and those turned out great, i've never welded before so that was kinda fun. thanks for the comments, criticisms and what not. back on topic, comment on the eyelids, not my crappy painting skills

thats very good advice. probably what i should have done
it doesnt look that bad...
ive always wanted to see a car painted with like a home hardware type decorative paint that martha stuarters use on lamp bases and @!#$ LOL
dam nice car
I realy like your attitude while taking all this flak about the paint. dont let any bad comments stop you from learning, you admit it might not be great, and you are posative about it. eyelids look great, car looks like its coming along nicely, i would love to see it when finished.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.
i had lots of toys when i was young.slinky,etc.but once i found my penis,that was all she wrote
Looks good.. Did you screw yours in. or just use double sided tape?

Not bad. Helps the front end's appearance. Did the same effect for me also.
