It's not too bad. I don't aim them too much because of the *******s that drive around with hids and no projector.

Oh yeah, and the final(almost) product! Halos will be hooked up later this week.

Sweet!

Did you sand down the paint after you splattered it? If you don't it isn't flat and you can see/feel it

I think you would just sand all the "splatter" off unless you put a lot of clear coat and then sanded it.

I didn't sand it and was barely able to feel the splatter on the shroud.

You didn't splatter very much I guess. If you do a lot of splatter you have to clear it then sand it down flat.

Yeah. It was really light. Just enough to get the effect I was going for

Okay, I work for apple autos, seems like you went through us for a few of your things. Except I work for the one on 1st. But still two of our techs are ford certified and I get evetyhing at cost even most aftermarket stuff. Save a ton of money.
