Too much dist inclusions.
If it were a street car I'd be a little embarsssed. Honestly.
My Turbo S needs some paint. What I learned from this effort is that I AM NOT PAINTING THAT CAR.
Nope good for a race car. Hardly for a street car.
Ok... Should I be Hutch or Starsky?

Thanks...
Car still looks good 1 year later, but I over winter break I will need to do some touch up on the front end. Track rash!
As for the paint... it was a Napa crossfire brand, nothing fancy. Ratios as called for by the MFG.
