Nice color! I love blue cars.

Where are you in WI/IL? By the state line I assume?

 

[sophmeat]

Thanks man. I'm in Madison for the school year, 3 blocks outside Chicago the rest of the time.

Looks great. Good process too. I like how you put all the pics and captions together in the tread too :xyxthumbs

Nice job... the car looks great. Did the NXT bring out the flake more, or was it after the #16 that it really came through?

 

[sophmeat]

NxT darkened it a lil bit, but the #16 brought out the flake.



In any case I'm quite happy with the results.
