    But very true... I do enjoy it. I had fun doing it too..

    Thumbs up

    It is pretty artistic, I will give you that. Totally tricked me when I first looked at it. I was like "Ok, whats the big deal?"

    You know, now you need to airbrush a scoop on the hood insert, a cam in your 1/2 moon, and maybe even some 120mm cannons on driver and passenger door, heh.

    Looks good!

    Do us a favor. Don't skimp on buying a swim suit for the summer.

    Peace.

    You should have at least used Line-X instead of paint

    Actually that's not a bad idea, it give you the color, shape and the depth.

    Denatured alcohol, you can get it at home depot cheap, it is safe for all plastics and paint but it will remove wax.

    I took another plunge today.
    Did the painted on skid plate mod.
    Thanks to SilverBullet75 for posting what he did.
    I didn't take it as high, I was a little scared to go all the way.

    The sun was behind the VX which made the front look darker than what it really is. I'll take a better pic.
    This time I used silver Fusion paint for plastic. Then went over it with high temp aluminum paint to give it the bling. Note, I had already painted my cladding so little prep involved.
    The tow hook is going back black.

    Yeah, Red on black!

    Wow, the black looks real good. Got me thinking about other colors!
    Like Red on my black vx.
    Knowledge is power!
