    Its not hydros but more people know what that is so when they ask how the hydros are I just let it slide. Its actually air cylinders. I dont have any pics of the set up but I live right by DFW airport. My father works at a shop in Carrolton and I will be there next week during the day working on my car. If you want to meet pm me and we can work out the details.

    As for the cost of the paint job it cost me basically nothing. My dad paints for a living and I helped him with the prep. I was given the paint for a b-day/Christmas present so I didnt have to pay for materials. The cost of a paint job like this will probably cost between 5-6 grand.

    and yes that paint alone is expensive not to mention having to do all the prep work

    5 gallon tank, 3/8 inch valves, 1/2 inch line. I talking about getting air in the tank. It move fast it just the air is lost fast and it takes a couple minutes for the tank to fill back up.
