nice thin coats, night shade paint is so easy to overdo.

Looks good to me, I'm guessing 2ish coats? That's the level of shade that looks clean imo. All my markers and turns are done in the same stuff, helps save money when they don't make good aftermarket smoked lenses or they cost a stupid amount of money

Yes i ended up doing 3 coats on both tails. I dont wanna do to dark because i think it could end up looking tacky, and less chance of a cop giving me shit for it.

Yeah it saves a lot of money honestly. I bought these tails for $115. And someone else was trying to sell them but tinted for $180. I saved quite a bit.

So i met up with my painter last night. He was finnishing buffing it out for me. I guess he didnt know i was back from North dakota otherwise he said he would of finnished it weeks ago! Haha. Oh well.

Theres still polish left overs on the car in the pics

But it looks amazing.. I get it tomorrow or the next day.

He showed me that the door and hatch haskets are pretty much shot. So now i will be in the market for new gaskets.

The car is now in my posession once again after 6 long ass months!

I went ahead and freshened up the lights and restored the headlight garnishes the day after getting it back lol
And then spent a good 4 hours just really deep cleaning. Lots of detailing exterior and interrior. Went through the engine bay since it sat for so long.
Found out that my electronic fan control unit failed from sitting.. The fans Wont turn off and stay on after the cars shut off... Just ordered a toggle switch for that.. Gonna make it simple. for now the fans are disconnected. Wont be able to drive it much until the toggle switch arrives.
