McDonald's!
I'm just kidding man. That's some nice quality paint-work and I'm assuming powdercoating?

Purple is gonna be in the mix this season.

Time to show off the worse painted engine bay known to man.
All done with Duplicolor from Autozone. haha.
The silver lettering was done with a silver sharpie though. And this is way old before my paint job and projectors.
