Thanks Marcus! They look darker in the picture above....below is a better shot of the side markers...

I used a tinting spray from Japan called Vans elegance color. Everything else is in japanese.....lol.....additionally, I sprayed a Clear coat the following day...(picture below has no clear coat)

Yeah, I know.....although, I noticed that they got a bit darker after the smoke cured and the clear dried....so they are a bit darker than the 2nd image.

Chris,

Top notch work as always, Congrats to you and Marcus for Magazine Cover Feature.

Really like the pedestal for the Build board. I used a flat piece of aluminum 5"wide and was bent using hydraulic press than painted to OEM color.

Looking forward to seeing more of your never ending mods.
