    That what the guys at work said. I think its the red/black it just make it totally different. I'm glad I did a red/black rather than white/black

    Looks the same close up. The paint is straight acrylic no clear coat or anything. Painted it sand it down with 1500, cut it back and buff.

    Make sure you get a decent mask cos the fume can get pretty nasty .
