I'm with Trybe. windows are gooooood. Ya think they are for suckers? come on down to Houston and drive the morning traffic on 290 with 80,000 other half asleep morons on their cell phones, putting on mascara, drinking coffee, reading the freeking paper etc etc etc etc etc that stick on the left of the steering wheel, its a turn signal. if it's on, leave it on, if it's off don't touch it. I rant therefore I am.

kepping it simple,but a little more flashy than just fleet white.
that's not a cheap paint.. 3 stage (ground, mid, clear) and loads and loads of pearl in it. let's hope you never have to spray in a bumper or fender in the future... it never sprays in like the full repaint always has a tinge of pee yellow in it for some reason .. hehe
can't wait to see the final product

Good luck on the paint work. Kind of like building a house. You don't want anything done unless you're there to watch.
