[quote="jwrose

goeff - i did that at first, but i really dont like the look of having no center caps, just personal pref, i dont care that im rolling on knock offs lol especially since i got them for a quarter of the price[/quote]

Dude I feel the exact way, I just bought a set of dr31 and everyone likes them and say they look legit. Only my girl was giving me **** and saying I should've waited and gotten real ones. But all the matter is that they work and look good. I'm happy that is are a lot less, if one gets messed up I don't go on a killing spree lol

You sure that compressor is gonna be big enough to keep the spray gun going??? lol. Looks good man! Feel free to go through a little bit of what you're thinking about when you're starting the car and how you approach it lol. You just strip down the low spots and everything first and get them level, then strip the entire car or what?

body work is a pita. i'd rather take a motor in and out then rub down a car. keep up the good work and post updates. i could use a lot more tips and pointers when it comes to body work.

the compressor runs the d/a fine, i have an lvlp paint gun too, which it only shoots at 10psi, so i dont have any issues
i go down to metal where the dents are, feather the edge with 80, give the mud something to stick to then knock it back down, once it straight, run over all of it with 180 then 320 then prime... you can strip the entire thing but the rest of the hood is fine, so just 180, 320 prime the rest, the entire car will be in primer as i am going to do an all over...

color is going to be bmw carbon black metallic, like a bluish black, with wheels that are white or pink, or maybe some other color that will pop well
