so this was my first attempt at painting my car. never done anything like it before what you think.

before



during




where i backed into my friends car lol











after








then thought it was missing something so i bought some red ghost pearl, but it turned out to be more pink and purple than red so i went and bought some red air brush pearl and put it on top

ghost pearl



red pearl



i wanted to put the dragon on the hood with a racing stripe down the back, but instead of the typical racing stripe i put it on like a trail of blood






















yeah i know the dragon messed up it ripped the black and clear coat when i pulled the tape off but this was all trial and error ill be going to school for it in the fall.

I just want to add in that when you say "what do you think" in your initial post, please be open to replies that are both positive and negative. Just because it isn't constructive or positive doesn't mean that you didn't ask for it all along. You requested feedback and you are going to get it. If you want positive replies only, post something like "tell me how much you like it!" That way the only way you will know if no one does like it is if no one posts.

On that note, people can do what they want with their cars because they are just that. Theirs. Still, fi you ask for opinions, don't expect strictly rave reviews.

that dont mean people have to be assholes about it.
there are ways of saying you dont like somthing, without being a jackass bandwagoner, like most of the people whos posts i deleted in this thread.
