    Over 100k on this one. The only original paint was on the hood, RT side front fender and door. Also the front and rear plastic bits are the still the factory SS paint. The rest of the car was CC from the factory. The factory paint was nice and easy to work with. The repainted areas had a PITA hard CC.

    Great job on one of my favorite cars from back in the day! You did some fine work with m105 and Ultrafina. I love your work and like P1et you make Zaino look incredible. I really love that red. Man in the befores the wheels were looking pretty rough too and you did a bang up job on those.
