Yo yo yo, here ya go;

It costs probably a little bit more than just buying some paint, but the result is a lot better. Better yet, you can remove it if you don't want it no more.

(By the way, If you want it White + info layer texts, be sure to select an 'info text layer' in the designer, that way you don't lose any text that's on your SP as it will be on the new cover you're designing. Saves painting in the texts as well, which would cost loads of time. )

I swear there was a code to activate the blood in the SNES Mortal Kombat version. Any how, I would get a style flip and take it to someone that powder coats bikes and have it candy painted like an old school Impala. :lol:

Resolution is pretty good going by the website's examples and a few pictures I've seen from other people, but it definitely depends on how high the resolution of the original image is you're uploading / using.



Once a few bugs are sorted out, I'm totally going to order one asap for my MV.
