Very sweet ride! That's one that you could have done 10 or 20 "after" shots of the whole car and it wouldn't have been overkill at all. Nicely done.

Nice, and went with 4 star UPP :xyxthumbs:

Thanks and oh yes 4 star UPP. I loved the way the regular version looked on dark metallic. I got this one (Polycharged version) from a drawing and was excited to see how it looked and last. I need to check how it is holding up.

Yes it is a sweet ride and a joy to drive. I will be seeing this one again so I will get more pics.

That Maserati look awesome. The Four Star UPP made the dark Blue metallic paint really POP. Keep up the great work.

Great job. Sweet car. That is the kind of car I would kill to detail and then advertise.
