    All the paint was from tcpglobal the kustom shop brand. Used my hvlp @ 32 psi. The vent was a fan in the window. I used a propane heater in the garage and the fans on the exterior forced the heat into the paint booth thru three filters.

    I think it's 6 coats of candy green. But, i could be wrong. Amazing the color change between coat 1 & 6 of candy.

    Nice! I can tell this isn't your first rodeo.

    You did a badass job on the paint. Not a big fan of the mini truck style license plate surround. Other than that it is rad! Fuck the haters;)
