That car had sweet patina period. But after DBD movement started I primered the car I think I'm gonna strip off the dark blue paint off of my new car to reveal its og stratto, strip the rattle can off the lid and leave the fenders and hood in the og color. Of course I will primer the exposed pieces. It'll look cool til pain and body. _________________ ITMC-El Presidente
