looks good. I just did mine rhino line on the quarters and sprayed the rest white. It was flat black and i have to say flat black is the hardest to rattlecan because you can see the imperfections but your paint job looks great!

Looks great. I'm most likely gonna spray mine soon, the paint on mine is about toast. Seeing your rattle can job makes me feel better about doing the same to mine!

Been thinking of doing mine for a long time. But with gloss black. So I Photo shopped a couple of pics (to get a idea of what it would look like.) Before and after. Attachment 24927
