Default Black roof...

I painted it on Saturday. I am still combating orange peel in my clear coat. I am now thinking it has to do with my gun speed and the psi drop i recieve from my compressor.

Default Either it works or it doesn't....

And it is my modest opinion that that does in fact work. Good job.

Default still waiting on some plastic to get in to shave the gills and europlate...

I pulled the door pins out the other day. The middle door trim will be gone tomorrow, and hopefully work on some other stuff.

Looking good! Black is a very tricky 'color' to get perfect.. But it looks good in those shots..

Default I think it looks really good, car is coming along very nicely

I sw a nogaro B5 S4 with a black painted roof and it has made me start looking for a nogaro as well as a few other colors instead of leaving nogaro out of the search
