Am I looking at a stock A5 with a green hopper? I am still baffled by the 6hr paint job, I don't know if you should classify your self as a If you were a "great spray painter". Nice leather jacket.

I repeat... it only took me about 10min to actually paint it.

I had to tape everything off and etc before hand, which took about 2 hours each time. I am a perfectionist and it takes awhile for something for me to be happy with it.

It would probably be shorter time period now due to the fact I know exactly how to do it.

I had to repaint it after the first time because it didn't completely get covered...

Heres a timeline:

Paint Prep (dissassembling cleaning, taping, etc): prob 1 and a half hours

Painting (5 coats with 30 second intervals): 5min

Letting it dry, then reassembling: 1hr 5min

Re-Preping: 1 hour

Re-Painting (3 coats): ~5min

Letting Dry & Reassembling: 1hr 5min

Total: 4hrs 50min

Ok I exhaggerated by 1hr 10min... but still.

You guys are really critical you know that?
