I really like that last MAX.

Thanks, Paul!  I think I've finally got it where I wanted it in sound, looks, and playability.

Thanks, Al.  I had been using 1:1 yellow to blue, changed it to 2 yellow to 1 blue.

Refinned this.





Matte Charcoal!







I mixed flat black primer/surfacer with gloss white nitro and Mohawk 'Flash Off.  Really changes according to available light.  I'm looking forward to seeing if I can keep it matte using 'Rat Wax' detailer.

The Cataldo "Noir" bass. Be sure to charge double for that one!

No kidding!  This one's mine, keeping matte matte is not easy.  I'm trying out some stuff called 'Rat Wax' that seems promising. 

I was buying gas the other day and the guy in the bay next to me was filling up a matte black Merc GLA AMG45.  Looked really sharp but Merc charges $5000 for the matte paint option.  I guess when you're already paying $50k for a small 360 hp hatchback that's no big deal.

THAT's a flash of creativity.

A vast improvement. What's going into the cavity?
