Much nicer than the stock paint. Best Mustang I've seen ever. Was there sanding involved? What tape did you use to mask it and did you paint the bumpers and skirts seprately?

I first stripped all the parts off the body everything I could remove. Then mask the remainder with some thin automotive masking tape the good stuff you get at paint supply houses. Never use the cheap crap from wally world it either leaves a residue or bleeds under badly. I then trim the mask with a really sharp and thin blade in a xacto if its not sharp enuff to just lightly drag it along bodylines and cut the tape completely gen another blade out.I then used 00 steel wool to sand the body before primer and 600 grit to get rid of the minor scuffs and scratches from drifting. After the primer I hit the entire body with steel wool again then shot the paint and clear. Wetsanded the next to last coat of clear never wetsand the final color coat with metallics because it dulls the metal flakes that give it the sparkle always wetsant the next to last coat to remove dust and random paint splatters and overspray dust.

WOW! That's a really professional looking paintjob. It looks great! How did you get the car to sit so low? I have the STi and can't get it to sit sleek and low like your Mustang. Mine has the Generation 1 chassis (you probably already knew that...).

I found that with a very small amount of time with a dremel or hobbyknife the titan front body clip fits and it sits 1/8" lower. the rear is pretty much stock ride hieght just softer springs. I dont plan on any decals but I might add a satin black rally stripes. and try to find some Roush badges.
