Re: new paint and wheels!!!

You did a great job on the painting! What type of spray gun did you use? Do you still plan to go with round headlights?

Great Job on the paint and prep work on the body. Love the yellow. You should paint the headlight buckets black though, itll look cooler and more aggressive.
Keep it nice!
