    white hatches are rare these days. im guessing ur gonna get the cf, hood and wing to make it a true one of a kind? maybe a gangstar ass exhaust with the crazy angle on it too? oh shit u can put some black wheels on it too. that would bethe craziest thing ne body has ever done.

    ...

    Why are you hating on the kid so bad BTEC? Just b/c he spray painted his car, the same color as yours? Are you the only one allowed to have a white hatch?

    Don't get me wrong, spray paint is still pretty

    I voted don't like it just because you voted for your own car.

    But, in my opinion, it needs some more stuff painted such as door handles, trim pieces, and different wheels.

    I asked if it looked good for what it is? That is all... im not trying to be different, I was just trying to have a one color car... well not 5 colors like it was... Sea foam green body, Black drivers side fender, Red hood, Blue doors, and a grey pass side fender... so i painted it one simple color!

    looks alright for a temporary solution but you definitely need to get it professionally painted later on. the paint looks like it needs a few cans of clear coat.

    no you didnt, you asked (and go check your poll if you dont believe me) how we liked the paintjob. so i said no because its spraypaint

    if you would have asked "how do you like my cheap ass doing a spraypaint job" then i woulda said "take better pics so its not overexposed on the white paint"

    somewhere between...15-23? i know that sounds like a random ass number but i had like 23 cans of flat white.. and i know i didnt use all those cans but they are all used! So a good bit... ofcourse the sad part is, With the money i've put into the paint i could have gotten house of colors flat white and just used it... LOL! Ironic...
