New Paint *pics*

This is how the story goes, i was going to paint my car a powder/light blue and was priming it and sanding it all the time. Then i got to the point where i said to myself ( im going to mark it up so i might as well go cheap) Then i decided to go with white so it could be easy to patch. Then my friend gave me 4 cans of flat black and 3 of gloss black. At that point i gave up the white idea and just went flat black.

-Before



-Here is the only shot of progress.



-Finished Product

Thanks for all the positive comments, it makes me feel really good about it. I plan on attacking it tomorrow with 320 wet and then maybe shoot another coat on a few spots.

BTW, near the center of the hood, left fender and roof are unpainted cuz i ran out of paint lol, so that might explain patchyness

i'd steer clear from masking-taping a logo on the side of the car too... while you're wet sanding, sand around the DRFT and paint over that ish.
