    like the nurburgring sticker on the back. i think interesting is the best word to describe that.

    you watch mighty car mods with the decorative front like that?

    Still looks mental but I totally appreciate it. :D

    That sticker on the back is the exact thing I said to a guard recently:D
    he asked had I been drinking and I said "I am not drunk, I was avoiding the potholes" I didn't know they had stickers saying it

    might sound stupid but... what 'sort' of gloss black did you use? like can? name of company? and did you do any prep or just clean and spray on?


  • Registered Users Posts: 203 ✭✭Jordan5372


    this is the can i used

    http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m8grOQgqIoQjyMjFT4Fb_Kw.jpg

    i sanded the area down with sandpaper, then i sprayed on primer.

    Then the spray paint.

    The HB Ice Cream wrappers and bits of newspapers stuck to your front bumper. What's that all about?

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    Neither have I! It looks like a Zetec S to me with the rear bumper the way it is.

    *EDIT: For MCMLXXV, its tarmac, ok so not a "field" but a small airport, Weston Airport in Leixlip
