fine line tape,ready for spraying the red paint.

I take it, it's the same red that you can get in the Colt CZT's? One passed me earlier and it was a really nice shade.

Oh, and by the way, the civic headlight pic looks good because about 3 days before that pic was taken, the front end had just been repaired after he crashed it ;)

I was refering to the clarity of the photo more
than the actually colour or shine.
it was nice and clear with great detail.

red is the same as on the Gto
