paint has a very little bit of blue metal flake can only notice it when up close or the sun hits it just right





and paint had tons of orange peel that took me weeks and weeks of wet sanding and buffing

I just hooked mine to a relay and a switch. I turn it on whenever I need and I have the hot hooked up to the ignition so it can only run if the jeeps on
