Hey guys,
I recently got some gt-four raiser blocks, they are in primer. I have absolutely no experience painting anything. I do have a large (25gal?) air compressor with the spray attachment for paint. I was wondering if you guys think I could paint these myself, with decent results? I don't want it to look like crud, and I don't want to spend alot to paint such small parts either. If you have DIY painting experience, could you give me some tips, including where to get paint, some detailed steps, tips and tricks, etc? Or, please let me know if this is far too much for a complete amateur to handle and get favorable results, and if i should just take it to a shop. Thanks guys!!!! -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
