Nothing wrong with snowflakes. It's uncommon to see them these days (at least here).

dunno if you can tell, but it's shiny, but not perfect. i want to end up with pretty much mirror finish, show quality. i've got a lot of work to get it that far though. i had to wash it again. as you have seen i did all my work around a gravel lot. well, a soon as i washed it a co-worker pulled up in a truck and made a huge cloud of dust that swallowed my car. oh well. had to make sure the paint would hold up. what better way than with a pressure wash

thought i'd make some of these. i like 'em. i have one for the driver side as well but i need to clean some overspray off before i apply it. you can see in this picture the finis quality i'm looking for. that's almost perfect, sad part is that it took about 3 hours for that one part of that one quarter.

Re: Ooops, if only insurance would cover stupidity.

Is your rocker panel on the passenger side dented in? I can't tell. It looks like it is in two pics. I think with some polishing, the paint will hopefully get some more luster.

Re: Ooops, if only insurance would cover stupidity.

yes it is, but i don't know how you managed to see that. i think you might be seeing a shadow maybe. i wish i had a real camera. and yeah. it's gonna take some more work. the dent is just a small one about half way down. i can barely see it standing here. it's pretty much under the car. you have to bend over to see it. i'll try to snap a pic of it real quick
