A custom paint job on an Onyx2
#11
RE: A custom paint job on an Onyx2
Here's the semi- finished product, as it will take about two weeks for the paint to properly cure, before I can carry out a final flatting, polish and assembly. (This I will only be able to do when I'm next in Cape Town! Towards the end of the year!)

Awesome. Looks amazing. I think after buffing out all of the scuffs on my Onyx2 maybe I should apply clear coat to it to give it some extra sheen and UV protection.

I'd normally advocate preserving the original color as best as possible, but I have to admit, this looks great. Almost an Onyx4-styled Onyx2.
