    That looks pretty good for hand painted!


    Considering black is the hardest colour to paint.




    Get some interior pics up aswell.

    Awesome!! great work doing that, car looks cool.
    I like it smoothed with the dark tail lights..tough
    A strut brace will really tighen up the front nicely.
