Don't know how I missed this thread but this is one of the best looking SC's I have ever seen. Ever!
Every part looks pristine.

How do u like the kustom shop paint u guys used? They are real close to me(tcpglobal). I'm thinking of going eith their paint. Also what primers and sealers did u use on the shine kit. I don't want it to wrinkle up since the say it has special chemicals. Thanks! Ur car is my motivation! I have my uas air on Megan ez coilovers. Oh, what psi do u drive at? I'm trying to dial in my suspension. I have 19 x 9.5/10.5 +0 rims and don't want to jack them up because my psi is too soft.

Thank you, for most part tcp global stuff is good, we used epoxy primer on shine stuff and whole cars it's a pita to send, wet sending tends to speed up the process but it's still takes time. Their base coat is nice I've used many lines metallics, pearls, jewel scent pearl they all spray nice and have a lot of pearl/flake. Their clear is different story the speed clear lays nice but no matter what we did it died out the next day ,it color sands nice though. I say use the 2k primer on your kit, tcp base coat and spend extra money on better clear like sikkens. there was a lot of sanding before primer filling pinholes and fixing mold problems. Then priming then sending then painting and color sanding I have a ton of hours in paint to make it look the way it does today. Good luck

Oh yeah the psi is about 116 front and 70 to 75 rear and all they way stiff on dampning it rides pretty stiff but not as stiff as my bc did on 25 clicks . I have a Mickey mouse 2 line manifold and 2 rocker switches anyways so next project is a accuair height controller and trunk redo

What is going on with those wheels? I see you are running huge PSI and I can't believe it doesn't scrape even with 75 in the back.
