    Its all in the time/detail but for the time youre gonna end up with in it you could have paid macco $300 and been done in 2-3 days vs a month of screwing with this.
    I highly doubt this is going to take me more than a week. Once I get new fenders/hatch I'm knocking this **** out as soon as I can. I would pay for it to get done, but I'm tired of dropping money into this thing when I'm about to just get rid of it.

    It took 2 days to get that fender looking right but if you do a whole car in a week then good job. And post pics

    Ive had experience with both, for rattle can the only color that I can make come out good is black. Ive tried white and it didnt do good. Go with the rustoleum if your going white. If black then wal-mart brand spray paint. For real, that stuffs the best lol

    Hmmm...maybe I'll try that out. It's black already so I could get away without doing the door jams and stuff.
