Why did it take so long to dry. If one can judge from some of your postwhorings (full of hot air :p ) it shouldn't have taken more than a New York minute. (j/k)

Well if you know anything about oil paint, you know that it takes a really long time to dry, and when you add oil to make the paint smoother it takes an even longer time to dry,

actually it took longer than what i said, because i got pissed doing it, stopped then came back to it, so total time was about 3 months, yes thats a long time, the grill and emblem took the longest, and to be honest i am still not pleased with it

Very nice. If I tried that my picture probably wouldn't even resemble anything that looked like a car.
