i painted andys car- it was a gallon of laquer trim black. The only problem we had was it decided to rain the day we sprayed the car and laquer does not like moisture. If you do matte black, use urethane as it doesnt matter the weather.

Interesting, didn't know it was a sticker. I was totally kidding about the actual paint job. I was just trying to be clever with the reference to the CGT...I'll take two please...

That's more than likely the matte black vinyl shrink wrap stuff.

...which does look insanely sick-nasty, btw.

Yep, the CGT is a vinyl wrap.

and Voith, thank you!
The rear tires are 265/50/15's... way too big. I plan on putting 245/50/15 on there to increase the stretch and decrease the rubbing!

well, I might as well post just a few of my favorites from my huge archive of nice 944's.

With all due respect to the owners and photographers...






















Here are Duke's most recent pictures, I believe...






















I'm sure you guys probably recognized a lot of fellow Rennlisters' cars, maybe even your own!

Urethane will get pissy with you over 60% humidity. I wish I didn't know that first hand.

The best fixed lights I've seen are the ones from that guy in the UK. Otherwise, I don't like 'em.

Sounds more like an airflow problem. We never see humidity that low here. 90 plus is fairly typical. It did require some adjustments to my technique when I moved here from Md.

Would not surprise me at all if that were the case. I just know all seems to be a whole lot easier with the humidity is down.
