    you just want to paint, that's easy. Just draw something out, and paint around it.

    Started with a 89 Accord LXI - 96 Acura TL - 2003 Acura CL Type S..

    Just mask off what you want to stay "Clear" then use VHT Night Shades on the "Dark" areas.:super:
    That way you can make it look like this if you screw up!
