Seems like forever ago when you had started a thread about your car getting painted. Paint went down on the body last night and on the bumpers, moulding, and mirrors today. Body is all wet sanded and polished. Went with an OEM color from another manufacturer........ Night Hawk Black. It's a Honda color. Quote Selected
