that's a nice paint job, though flames on imports are not my preference... did you shoot them yourself (how long does that take?)

intersting, more interesting is that you would put all that work into a cracked bumper, why not fix it first?

yes i shot the flames myself, and it took about 8 hours total work time over three days. i dont know what rims they are they were on it when i got it but the center cap says mazda, and as to the cracked bumper the nose cone is all yellow "krylon" yellow to be exact and it is comming off as soon as i can find a better one. and ill just reshoot the yellow. this was just going to be a test shot before i tore the whole thing down which i may still do especialy the hood and bumper areas, but since i love doing this kind of work i dont mind sanding it all off and doing it again when i have to.
