To address the blotchiness on the front bumper, it is bug etching and can only be fixed by a repaint.

Is that a solar flare occurring in the gamma quadrant? Geeez, that's fricking reflective!

Those clouds make the paint look so marred and hazy haha... I know it's wet and you did a great job, but most of those photos, at first glance, make the paint look bad... great reflections though

Wow, what a plethora of eye candy

I would love to see that paint in person.

The flake & crisp reflections are jumping out of my screen.

Greg!

The owner has to be 110% pleased with the results.
