Great job! That's actually what I wanted to do with mine except I don't have the equipment (or know-how). :( How much did the paint cost, though?

A life-sized picture of yourself as sideart! Now I never thought of that! Did you get it printed at Kinko's? ;P

That is crazy...  You can probably get away with laminating the sideart to match the gloss...

Actually paint cost seemed to keep getting more and more out of hand, the paint and reducer itself was about $45, the clear coat, primer, hardener etc... ran the total to over $100 which was way more than I had planned for.

I agree, chrome t-molding would be off the hook!

there was this cheezy (I believe intentional - not accidental) ebay auction where this guy was selling an aluminum teapot.  Of course the teapot was reflective so you can see a reflection of the person taking the picture.  The seller/picture taker was some naked guy.

It was mildly amusing incident, I guess.
