Sweet hope it all goes good. What kind of paint did you use to paint it? ---

Sorry but the paint just looks gross, IMO. Not flaming, just giving my opinion. ---

I know the blue isnt me either but there was a crappy selection it was that or a darker chevy blue. I called everywhere to try and get a custom color but no one mixes high temp paint. So I had to make due with what I had. Overall its WAY better than a stock oily motor. 8) And ya the pic distortes the color in general. I just want my car BACK… ---
