Ok so i decided to ditch the black on my car....i like it and all but we have seriously hard water and even drying it off and everything it still gets waterspots........soooooooo

once i start my new job (on the 1st i think) i'm gonna get a galon of this lime green primer surfacer

stay with me

a friend of mine who paints cars and stuff painted a guys harley with this primer then just cleared over it a million times and added hardner......so i though since it's pretty cheep.....and i love the color(lime green was my original choice for accent colors)
it's gonna get painted ........well he also does damn good flames so i think i'm gonna have him mask off some flame design i've drawn out and do those in black.....then all my blue interior pieces are gonna get shot with the lime green and clear.......once the guys i'm gonna be working for's business kicks off to a decent roll i'l prolly gonna get some black racing seats and have the center re apholstered(*sp) to the same color as the green and have the back seat covered with black and green to match....my mom is gonna do my daughters car seat in whatever color i want(the fabric) so i'll make it match too.......

sounds good. if i wouldn't have had any body filler on my car i would have polished it then clear coated it. :o

anyway i am doing mine this fall too. i still have to decide on the color thou: wrc blue, the m5 red, the jdm teal ( a bit darker and more pearl then my car), or a wild cherry red with lots of pearl in it
