Black is back (black TT content)

Hey guys, just finished up this beautiful 07 TT which needed a bit of TLC. The owner 6speed name QUuantum, who is a very busy guy allowed me to pretty much do what I thought would look good. As you can see in the before pics the paint was really bad, so many rock chips, front lip was bent and paint was peeling off. After 1 week I think the finished product came out better than factory.
what was done: painted both front fenders, hood, front bumper w/ inserts, repair and paint front lip, repair and paint rear bumper, paint center console exterior color, paint wheels matte finish black, smoke corners, lightly smoke tails.

Hope you all enjoy, the owner was speechless which is what was the greatest thing of all

Black's not a color, it's a hobby.

Looks good now. Nice job.

Thanks for posting the pics on here for me, I think I know how to post the pictures.























The appearance of the car just blows me away, couldn't believe it was my car when I first saw it.

smoking the lights can be done a few different ways, you can apply film but i think it looks cheap. I use a paint which is specific to lens, then a clearcoat then wet sand. All which allows it to shine, look and feel smooth
