Yeah i could write a tut, but you'll need a air compressor and a gun.

silent, that looks great man.

looks kinda purple-ish, but prob just reflections.

did u find it hard to fit back after all those coats?

[Silent]

Its jet black, the coats are not thick at all.

The paint is very thin comming out the gun.

Nice Cf , who did that for you?
