Also figured out why I had some fender rub on the left rear. Major toe in. I guess I should fix that before I do a roll so I do it in the right spot.
Probably going to paint on Saturday although I still haven't decided on a color yet. I change my mind every day.

My toe was corrected with 1/4 turn of a ratchet and fenders taken care of via jack handle. Probably took 30 min at the most. Went to get paint yada yada yada I got it cheap with free pearl added. More on that later too tired.

Wanted to do something like these 2, but different...
Jesse Streeter's Car
I'm a huge RWB fan
I just wanted to do a beige and add a hint of yellow... it came out light yellow lol. I think the guy at the paint store mixed up his math a little because the sample he showed me wasn't as yellow but he hooked me up with free pearl (which you can hardly see on the car? maybe because its single stage?) and a discount. After the first coat went on I was about to take a DA to the whole car but my friends assured me it would look much better once we took all the newspaper & tape off. All in all I can't complain I think it looks much better than before. It still needs wet sanded and buffed. My buddy did a good job spraying the car it went on smooth. Color has been growing on me the past few days.
I think it will look better when the rear glass is re-tinted 5% like the side windows and the wing and mirrors are going to be gloss black.

I'll probably pull the surrounds off and paint them black again. Black trim would probably look good too. Was thinking about doing the hood black again? Not sure yet, I'm wet sanding and buffing tomorrow. At this point I just want to drive.

i used the metalcast **** with the clear effects. turned out pretty nice. one side will be that purple/fuchsia color and the other metalcast green or red. i have a set of gold lugnuts as well just for the hell of it. all this **** should look douchey on a black car

So I picked up a set of S5 mouldings. They're black an in pretty good shape. So instead of painting them white I was thinking of painting the bumper trim black so it would kinda be an S5.4.
Car is white with black wheels so I think the black trim might work. Thoughts/Suggestions?
