Default Finished the Fuchs today

This is my first time painting anything on a car, so, they turned out OK. Can only see the imperfections from real close.
Look at that bloody weather!!! Dont you just hate winter? Spose I'll have to put the car away for a time (10mins or so!!! )
Sorry about the white writing on the tyres. I was experimenting to see how it looked. Will let it wear off, I think.

Thank you Alen. My aim is to please! LOL
Will look a lot better in two weeks when it gets new stone guards, a repair to the rear valence and a pro cut and polish.
Post more pics then.
Gee, I might even finish painting the tyres! It's a pain in the **** job, and I haven't got the steadiest hand in the business.

Are you going to paint the center caps too to match the wheel color?

Are those boxing gloves in the hatch?

Holy cow, do you live in the middle of a rainforest or something? I thought Australia is mostly desert!

Also I really like your car, except for the white lettering. I especially like how the rear-valance looks from the side view. I think the 944 without that thing looks like it's sticking it's butt up in the air. Plus the RoW bumpers are really nice too.

1. I dont really want to paint the centre caps because I think I'll screw up the logo.
2. Not boxing gloves, a set of red fuffy dice, courtesy of my eldest daughter!!

Look up Cairns in an atlas! The hills behind in the pictures are World Heritage Rainforest and the other direction is the Great Barrier Reef!

Just a white paint pen from Supercheap Auto. Like I said. Just experimenting to see how it looks.

Naw! You wouldn't like it! It gets down to 15C in mid winter! We get 35-50in of rain a year. Humidity is usualy 70%+ and the girls all wear skimpy clothes! Very boring! Think Florida without the highrise or crime!
