What does everyone think?
Ill upload more photos if anyone wants. These photos arent touched up or anything, you cann see that the white is still factory and some around the window is flaked off.
I need to keep going and do it as well.
BTW this was with acrylic and it hasnt even been cut or buffed yet.

Where did you get the rattle cans from?
I found Autobahn pretty decent at $30 a can.

Its not out of a can. Its 3M gloss jet black acrylic.
Its 39 dollars for a litre at supercheap. I only used one.
I sprayed it on my driveway. Borrowed 60 dollar spray gun. 30 bucks of sandpaper. A sanding block for 4 dollars. 20 bucks for primer used half of it. Bog for 15 or something.
It had paint flaked off the boot and guards. Dents everywhere, split front bumper, back bumper warped with huge flakes off it, big dents on the boot from passengers dropping the hardtop(like 5 F'n times!), along with someone kicking the quarter panel in 3 weeks ago (jealous sheeeple).
Also now youve seen photos everyone can see the no fan, heater stuff is true. You can see it has no glass.

Its gloss paint, and satin at the moment due to not being buffed. I think it looks pretty tough at the moment but I got a hold of a buffer today and ill shine it only a little bit at a time till im happy. I doubt ill go full deep gloss. Also im never going to clear coat it.
