Fuji Team Issue? That's a fantastic bike! How does he like it?

Wow, that's a lot of coats. I was actually planning on only doing 3 coats with no clear since I want it flat. Maybe I should rethink my plan.

yeah like since there is so many bends i did really light coats so i wouldnt get any runs and if you want a kinda cool effect put some pearl in to your base coat but youll need a little more because it shows up just not as much as in clear

Yeah - I've seen some with painted lowers. It shouldn't be too hard. The only problem is the sides since the A4's don't come with sideskirts. Some people usually just paint the rubber trim piece and some parts of the bottom to make it look even.
IMO the only way to complete the look of painted bottom is to get the S4 sideskirts.

I actually had a whole kit on the car for a while but now going a different direction with it.

And yeah - it was at the port of Long Beach. How did you know?

Oh tight! Let us know when you're in the area. We can probably meet up with the SoCal gang!
