I do paint things shiny from time to time lol they dont all have to be flat black or OD green.

I still have to buff it so it will be alot smoother, I also have to paint in the markers and details and install the tags on the plates. The liths actually I had layin around from another project un related to Xmods just thought id try em out. Yes it screams hence the AWD even with the soft compound tires it was a handfull to drive unless I ran the tallest gears I had to kill off the torque a little.

the paint will be better after the polish but it was just testors primer with several light coats of bright platinum metallic and topped off with several coats of clear all rattle cans soaked in warm water and mixed for a good 5 min before spraying.( I didnt feel up to the cleanup of the airbrush after I spray lol )

Ill try to take some chassy shots and more body pics tomorrow if I get home before dark, early evening outside is the best time/place for pics of metallics.

Thanks for all the compliments!!

I thought that was a stock color at first look. That is quite a detailed paint job...
