Nice job.
A great effort too, not many people are brave enough to take on a paint job like that.

Mate that looks incredible! Most ppl would think that painting a car with a roller would come up dodgy, but thats great!

I read this thread for the first time today and when I started I thought oh no, he is painting it with a roller but I must say I was impressed with the final result. The yellow looks fantastic with the wheels and lowered.

p.s. love the dish on the works 8)
