Someone made an article on Styluss's Beretta (paintjob more accurately) and I somehow stumbled upon it as a link from my favorite car site jalopnik.com....well this is awkward.

Re: STYLUSS DIY........
yeah they linked to it on mazdatruckin.com too. those guys state it makes more sense to just do a pile of prep work then bring it into macco.

Re: STYLUSS DIY........
Yup! I wrote the Instructable and someone found it and got it on Lifehacker!
Even 4 years later this write up is getting a lot of attention! It has been featured on Instructable's front page at 4 or 5 times, they gave me the distinction of being a featured author once and it all ended up with me receiving 5 years worth of Pro membership with Instructables! I enjoy that it is still a popular article among MANY websites.
There is a TON of update work I need to do to the write up as well as make a new website to host it on myself.

Re: STYLUSS DIY........
How's it been holding up long term? Does the sun beat the crap out of it, or is it actually still holding the gloss you had initially? I might just do this to my Jeep too, then I don't feel so bad when I scratch it off roading around the woods 
Re: STYLUSS DIY........
It is holding up very well. Just ask anyone that was at last year's BFest. It still has a bit of shine/gloss, but it has faded some from what it was originally. Not enough to be of a concern at all.

Bfest this year was the first time seeing Ryans car in person. And I can say that the paint is not a professional spray job, but it still looks GREAT compared to something that came out of a rattle can.
Its a good looking car, and the way Styluss was driving his car, it made perfect sense! If I didnt hate sanding, I might try it on something.
Best part, the related stories to the 75 dollar paint job!
