My Custom SKYLINE PAINTJOB

I got this Skyline about 2 years ago and it had about 5 paint jobs on it. The paint isnt very smooth at all, but the car was made after the skyline in 2fast 2furious. Tell me what you think.

Email me for other paint job pics Speedaddict2415

It looks pretty good for a car that has had 5 layers of paint on it. What brand of paint did you use?

Is that a custom spoiler, that looks really nice. You should try to add some underglow.

Yeah i built the spoiler out of tooth picks and a credit card, then painted. I have some pics from when i had the blue underglow on the car but it was a different paint job. I threw the lights away after remodeling the car and now i have no blue lights, i dont think another color would be better.

BUt the 9-volt i used to power the christmas lights did weigh the car down alot. And now i put a tiny wireless camera on it which also requires a 9 volt.

Is the car melted to be lowered, or is that just model glue giving it that ""lumpy" look?

The paint looks nice, it's just the lumpiness...
I didn't think it was paint. Doesn't matter how well you paint. I suck at painting, and I use Sharpies for the black.
