So I got a few more things done today. But before I even got started I noticed that someone keyed my van... 
I mean really?? It's a van, what possible reason someone could have for key'ing a van I have absolutely no idea. Anyways, I guess that means I'm doing something right!
So anyways, aside from all that, I started by masking off the lower parts of the van that I wanted painting...
(I would hate to be a painter...damn that crap is tedious to do!!
)
And then started with the coats...
And after 4-5 coats I ripped off the masking tape and newpaper and was left with this...
Then I installed some clear corners that I was able to pick up today from someone local that I found on ebay.
Started with one to see how different/better they would look, I think they look much better than the Amber ones!
And then the second one...
And that's if for the day. I pretty happy with it so far, I'm still debating what to do about the upper half of the van. I've narrowed it down to two things, either paint in the fake windows black, or cover the whole top half of the van black, Euro style. So basically draw a horizontal line from where the A-pillar starts by the hood, all the way the where the bottom of the tail lights, and everything from those two points on up... paint black. I would also black out the tails or at least tint them pretty good.
Not sure what you mean, can you explain it any better? Or if you can do photoshop that would help.

I realized that when I was posting pictures and I said **** it, if someone wants to track me down and steal it so be it!! Luckily I'm moving here soon so it won't be at the current address for very long.
