Nice transformation. Why not start with a black car? Where the door jams and engine bay painted as well?

^ a lot cheaper to respray over a lighter color than darker.

Looks rolyat.. Hard to tell its a purple. I thought it was black myself, tell I read your comments at the bottom.

It still amazes me how much difference just the tint makes. That was my first stop, too, and it was a huge change in the way the car looks. Especially on teh sexiest color.

^^Yeah kinda like the diet pill "before" shot where the guy slouches and puffs out his gut.

^Now I'm obsessively looking at other people's brakes, and it turns out they all look like crap.
