Great job on the mod man. Don't see too many people doing their own paint jobs.

Updated pic....For some reason, (probably because it was taken at night) you can't really see the shine in the clear coat...flash was on but :thumbsdown: so much for a 12.1 MP Sony Cybershot....i seen a bunch of halos in the pics that aren't really there. These pics are the best of a group. Perhaps I'll hit it with daylight sometime. This $115 piece really turned the look of the car out completely. I'm very happy with it. I do not have blacked out grilles although the picture shows otherwise......but that's definatley next!
Anyway to answer a couple Q's. I use Martin Senour paints....available at NAPA that is equipped with a paint booth.

For the spray gun, i don't remember what brand I use. It's not an expensive one. They all pretty much do the same thing and that's atomize the paint with air....any 1 qt. - 1 liter(bigger job) gravity feed spray gun will do just make sure you practice with that gun first. I RECOMMEND that if you're going to be painting many things and want a gun that will last to get a DeVilbiss GTI Millennium HVLP Gravity Feed Gun it's for both basecoat and clearcoat applications.
For the lights, that is a polarized tint so it doesn't affect light output much....does it? yes a little but not to the point where it's noticeable. I have 8K HID's in the driving lamps and fogs. I can drive perfectly fine without the fogs on but I do love the extra glow that they give me without being flashed 100x for having my brights on.
