You didnt use enough coats of it man. Thats how mine looked when i only applied a couple coats. Kind of a pinkish color, unless its your cam. Glad to see you had some originality and you tried it...

As you can see, you cant tell the difference of reds. Im assuming this was the color red you wanted to achieve. I used like 5-6 coats of it i think, maybe more...

i like how my chrome alteeza's look.... no offense. but i think it's way better than that... i just think the chrome gives my max a nice look with the chrome badges and chrome door handles... the only way i'd paint it is if i were to paint them the same color as my car...

Wow, i wasnt expecting so many to actually like this project. When the weather gets nicer ill try to add some coats. They are a little darker than that camera shows... Ill get my friends kodak digi to take some pictures instead of the free dsl sign up one i have.
