    Dont buy fiberglass, buy polyurathane. fiberglass kits are known to crack and spiderweb. And if its a cheap aftermarket kit the fitment sucks also.

    So how would I paint a urethane kit?

    if u want sincere advice, i wouldn’t waste my time or money. the kits are garbage, and eventually ull forget ur car even has one when driving and break it. not worth the time or money. if you absolutely wanna do something different to your car’s body, try something like shaving handles or locks off.

    Very good point. I don’t like them at all and would never own them. At work, I refuse to touch them as they are ALL junk. When I can, I avoid opening a can of worms, and that is all these things are…

    What do you guys sugest I do to my car to make it nicer besides a body kit

    If you are painting it, the right colour(s) can make all the difference. Deciding on a colour and possibly 2-toning it or adding some striping can make a huge dufference alone. Larger vehicles often look good with 2-toned as it breaks up all the monotone area on the side. A smaller vehicle may be better with a single colour and some nice pinstriping, racing stripes etc. Or just the right colour can make it flash.

    What kind of vehicle are you looking to do?
