Be careful with that paint. I used the duplicolor hi-heat ceramic stuff, I don't know if it has to cure, didn't say anything on the can, but I was able to take it off with a passing brush of a choke-clean soaked rag. Needless to say I was dissapointed.

Looking forward to the pics...

Only flat black though. If you're doing a full paint job, black tends to show all your sins

If you need some S4 parts, lemme know. I've got TONS and will let most of them go for shipping plus a few $.
