    Found this car for sale in my town and thought i would share
    the paint has glitter in it and a texture like you would find in a bed liner
    don't know what he was thinking

    Someone rolled the paint on.Its not uncommon to have lumpy paint when doing flip flop (glitter) You put lots of clear over it to level it out.Flip flop seperates the backyard painters from the pros very quickly.

    Well, I guess I have to give him some credit for kind of keeping it off the trim.

    Those wheels with Comet center caps are hard to come by, I have only seen a couple sets, but then Comets are hard to come by everybody has bought them up for parts cars for Mavericks
