Great work! Glad I told you to NOT take off the moldings to paint them... ;-)

Good work Ryan. I think its a step backwards in the long run. But it works for the theme that you are currently setting up.

Taking a color matched car and painting parts of it black again. Its like buying a brand new car, stripping it down and rattle can'ing it flat black. A step backwards.

I understand that, but if you were to get close to the objects that I repainted since they were plastic and the car wasn't prepped a single bit before paint, the paint was very shitty and on the moldings the black was starting to show through. Thus, why I figured we might as well just repaint it.

another trend that originated in skateboarding when your dominant foot's shoe string breaks from flip tricks, most shoes come with two sets of laces, different colors, replace it an keep skating!

I didn't switch it because of a trend from skateboarding, honestly. I've never even heard of seen that, I just did it because it came with the shoes.
