Man ... you guys are brutal. So much hate for a paint job that is well done. First thing i noticed the the reflections in the clear .... makes the car look wet .. which is a tell tail sign of a quality paint job. My hats off to you, the quality is top notch and it shows all the hard work that went into it. I will say that i can appreciate the design, but its not my style. A lot of hard work went into that box and you should be proud.

very quality work, but as a few said, not my style. I'm still pretty impressed though, you sure have talent.

(all that work and you're still advertising for the dealership? )

hilarious that the 15k car and the 30k car have barriers so no one touches them , yet the lamborghini which costs multiple HUNDREDS of thousands has non barrier around it.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
