I always thought a darker silver would look good on that shell. Now I know it would.

The most simple one I have done yet. HPI window masks. Fasblack. Minimal stickers.

I had the lights set up for some eBay auctions I was taking picture of already, so I plopped down the car and shot these:

I really like the Cuda shell, but my question has nothing to do with the paint job. There seems to be a whole lot of sealer on that pavement. Are you guys getting good traction on that?

That pic was taken at Superior Hobbies parkinglot track. The traction is okay there considering it's not a permanent track, and the hobby shop has no control of what the shopping plaza does with the surface.
