    cool, it can be a practice car if need be, like I said I'd be flexible with any spare paint so any color is fine. You have no idea how much crap my mom, best friend, and girlfriend give me about this paint.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    lol the instructer does not take vehicles from people for us to use as a practice cars, belive me you are not the only one who has asked. he will only let us do legit stuff for people who will pay for ALL of the material cost and SHOP USE cost which is always $150 for painting a vehicle.

    $150 + MATERIALS!
    Materials include (average)
    -Masking Tape
    -Paper
    -Plastic Filler (if body work is needed)
    -Primer
    -Primer Activator
    -Base Coat
    -Clear Coat
    -Clear Coat Activator
    -Reducer
    -5 Mixing Cups
    -5 Strainers
    -1 tack cloth
    -Plastic cover
    -Laquer Thinner
    -Sand Paper (depending on body work, you will need 80 grit/180/320/400

    And you must, MUST buy the whole thing, like a whole can of bondo, they do not sell little bits of things, except paint you can get 0.25pint to 10quarts. a quart normally runs about $35.00, and clear coat you must buy in quarts.

    i say all black with the red thin pinstrip so that they look like the time attack wheels. that would not only be clean but it would pull in the red marker that your gonan not smoke.
