    Thanks everyone, It turned out pretty good. I am happy with it. From how it started to what it looks like now is definetly a huge difference. Ill try to answer the questions.

    Everything i bought was from DipYourCar.com. They have everything you will ever need lol and great customer service. Also there videos on youtube are a huge help. Pretty much any question you have or thing you want to see done is covered on there, I watched them a ton of times before i bought a kit and before i tried doing it.

    -The wheels were done with one of there wheel kits. comes with everything you need. Base coat and color coat, all in cans. If you do it i recommend buying the 2.0 Nozzles for a little extra. The color that i used is there Burnt Copper Alloy kit.

    -I bought a whole vehicle kit, it really comes with absolutley everything you need all the way down to the mixer,filters and microfiber towels. The color i used is called Wicked Wine and is a part of there performance series. They make two spray systems that you can purchase. The standard sprayer and the advanced sprayer. Both use the same gun, but the turbine systems are different between the two. They say for most DIY people the standard is fine if you are only doing a few cars a year, the Advanced is more for professionals. But after lots of reading and seeing what others had to say i went with the Stage 3 turbine advanced sprayer, its supposed to make the finished result smoother even for a complete novice. Again the standard is much cheaper and still does a really nice job. I just like to be an idiot and buy things i dont really need.

    -As far as the instructions go i followed there instructions to the letter, just like real car painting most of it is in the prep. So dont skimp on the prep and even if you think its clean enough go over it again haha. No one knows this stuff better than they do. Just go on youtube and check out some of the videos, they have pretty much pioneered this and come up with a ton of cool products.


    This is a list of pretty much everything i bought. Decent chunk of $$$ for everything( i did get a 15% off code). But now that i have it all it will only cost around $300-400 for a complete color change next time and there will be a next color lol. its easy and fun. now i just want to see all the colors. But this will stay for a few months at least.

    Sure, i wouldnt have a problem with that. As long as its in the same condition when i get it back. You would have to come get it and bring it back though. I PM'd you my number if you are serious.

    I'll be the first to say the Sonoma looks awesome!

    I think that color would look awesome in gloss, too. On your next color choice, how about this green:

    The Bora Bora color is nice, not sure about the other one. As for the green, I think it would need to be a gloss to look right.

    That Sonoma is bad ass!! Nice work!!!!
    I used to be 'with it'. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.......
