At the moment...Duplicolor Scratch filling auto primer,Grey Metallic paint and I haven't added the clear coat yet...but I have a compressor and a HVLP gun I am going to be using for the entire car...just wanted to see how the color would come out. I know it's cheesy but I am pretty damned skilled with spray cans. tongue.gif

I also put my 7th gen stock spoiler on it...I am going to customize the car a little and use different oem parts from different cars.It's going to be a frankenstein of a car!

Unfortunately at the moment my GT-S is in the shop....I broke my lift bolts and fried my valves so I am bumming rides to work and this 94 pictured above is my winter car and currently doesn't have a full exhaust or windshield! rofl...so...when I get my car back and finish my midterm this week I'll probably have some more pics on friday tongue.gif
