Looks good. You should think about a clear coat to help keep the scratches and nics down.

thanks for the compliments guys i dont think im going to clear coat it cause then it will take the flat out, im thinking about pinstripe or airbrushing a design onto it but not just yet

that looks awsome, what kind of paint did you use and what grit sand paper? I really wanna do this to my brain bucket! :cool:

I think you can get a dull coat that would cover it in clear paint, but it would be flat. They way it is now, you will get a scratch or chip in it if a stick gets at it.
