Soo I finally took the time to gather some pictures of Shaneeda after her paint job and some minor body work, "from previous owner" which consisted of a couple door dings and some scratches that I was not comfortable being associated with lol. I had her painted upon my return from my last deployment a few months ago and needless to say I couldn't be happier with the results. With summer coming to an end quick before she goes into hibernation; I thought I'd share some pics with you guys since I haven't really seen or know to my knowledge of anyone that's done this. I've never posted pics so hope this works:...

Not working. Copy the link from Imageshack that says IMG next to it.

My fusion is Tuxedo Black Metallic and that thing shines like crazy in the sun, interested in seeing it on a cobra.

That's a whole lot of metal flake in that paint.

I hope you enjoy detail work. It's a beautiful color but it does require an insane amount of dedication to keeping it looking that good.

Zaino FTW

Your car looks amazing! I am envious. :beer:

My personal favorite polish is Zaino: http://www.zainostore.com/mm5/merchant.mvc
On a black car, the shine is awesome. I found that done right, Zaino isn't mush work except for the first application. I also found that dirt doesn't stick as well so a black car with Zaino will look clean a lot longer than a black car without Zaino.

Before doing the first application, make sure there are no water spots (distilled water in a spray bottle will eliminate them) or any smudges. If you Zaino over a smudge, it will be there forever, so detail it as well as you can before the first application.

Thanks everyone; I'm really stoked on how well operation "snake skin" turned out; now working on saving up to complete operation "snake bite"; I currently have a VMP TVS waiting to be installed once I have the funds for a return style fuel system...Cant wait! :rockon:
