Great work Merlin. Also like the Yin & Yang analogy.
I see lots of palm trees in your pictures. Do you live in Florida or California?

Thanks I am real happy with the way they both turned out.
The white was a plain flat white and it sparkled when done.
The Black was a black metallic and it popped in the sunlight.
The Challengers have a LOT more real estate than I thought.

Sunny South Florida.

Actually NO. It was interesting the one statement he made to me was...
"I don't want you to do the interior." I said "OK" (no skin off my nose)
I wondered why but I didn't even ask? I just spent all my time on the paint.

Love exterior only details. The black looks amazing. I always thought FL was flat, guess my geography isn't so good lol
