> id have to look at it.

i did a pretty damn good job on it last year and made it from a completely matte black and brought some shine back into it, it’s really just 100% 20 y/o abused paint, with a lot of it rattle-canned over the past year

i lol @ him thinking that because you did what you did on your car that his car can look like that too :lmao :lmao :lmao you literally cannot polish what is actually a turd (the paintjob, not the whole car), that is what a respray is for :thumbup
