Hey guy, decided to get the metho out this arvo and get rid of the tint.

in my opinion it looks a little dodgy, prob cos i did a crap job.

but i may redo it and make sure its a little lighter and then ill gloss it up with the GLOSS coat.

to be fair, it wouldn't be ANTRX if we stayed on topic.

yeah strange  :-\

maybe i just thought that cos my car is looking like a BLACK beast - tooo much BLACK with wheels tryes and window frames. argh black and white aint that appealing....

just need to get some nice chromies on the TRX and then she will look a little nicer in my opinion.

cheers fellas

That looks good. Just thinking if it would look ok on a corsair. You would have to tint the middle strip too so would it look too much or what. maybe some photochoping is needed.
