solvent and thank you for the support!

I remember I painted my 1990 Civic in auto tech class while in high school. I shot it in some generic white paint but it didn't come out nearly as nice as yours. Keep up the good work!

call me a hater but you should have left it white. the paint looks so thin in certain areas and there is a whole bunch that was missed in the bumper grill and what not.
