What paint did you use? Is it the high heat spray paint in a can, like the paint for the brake calipers?

Looks great...lemme guess your car is black because I bet it looks sweet when the hood is up. How about a pic from a distance with the hood up 90 degrees...just to see how it looks.

My friend has a body shop and painted mine with the same paint as the car and used bright red for the lettering (by hand) and clear coated it. I want to do the wings but have not decided what I want to do so it is still plain.
