using rattle can paint would have cost quite a bit more and would have taken longer to get to look right. on a white car thats a few coats, sanding in between, it woulda been a bitch to make perfect.

Hmm... so where's the CF weave pattern? You know somebody has done it by now.

BTW... I'm assuming for $75, he bought the stuff and applied it himself? How long did it take to do the whole car? I'm thinking that might actually be an interesting idea for the S2000 if/when I start racing it. Silverstone is a boring color for a race car.
