"Beatershark"....All vettes are killer in my opinion!

"Bender".....As said before, the paint has a laquer finish, which does shine more than a clearcoat finish. However, longevity is a problem, which I am experiencing now. I am going to repaint it this year, but use a clearcoat. The car looks so shiny in the pictures because of a nice thick wax job. I don't know how to do many things well, but I can detail a car with the best of them.
 
lol I edit my car in Photoshop to make it Shine hahaha.
 
I'm sure I've posted these before and they used to be in the gallery. . .

Not the best pic but you get the idea. I really don't have that many of the car. I finally picked up a digital so I should have no excuse in the future.
