Jees, its already been 6 months since the hood paint? Time flies. Still looks outstanding though! Looks darker now it seems.

Waxed/Sealed DY Green...SUCH an awesome color. :beerchug:

I'm gonna have to try out this LG....its starting to bug me that a sealant can offer that kind of shine. =P~

Front and rear Zilla bumpers and door handle trim will happen when I do the SLEeper's hood. MAYBE this winter.

when you were painting the pontiac symbol i didn't really think i'd like it.
But i actually do like it... the subtleness is nice - not too much.

Car looks awesome! I have to get myself some LG...

WOW!!!! :hail:

Wren, your cars look amazing. I have used LG on my truck but the results were no where near as nice. Light red shines up real nice, but it doesn't have that bold wet look to it. Is it me, or is Zilla darker than SLEeper? Maybe I'm just a pendejo...

Looks good. So you are getting 6 months protection out of LG?

Two coats (one day apart) of LG will give 6 months protection and only needs another light coat after that to freshen it up.

Both cars are identical in color. It's just the angle I shot of it where you can see more direct sunlight on the SLE.
