Golf balls, the bottom of racing sail boats, etc... Are textured for a reason... I'm wondering if it wouldn't reduce wind resistance as well...

The Mach 1 owner should be sprayed with bed liner to match the car.

golf balls are dimpled with actual proven aerodynamic effects. this is just a hack job at best and looks like they dumped a can of liner on instead of spraying lol

OK, I figured out what it is:
It is so blind people can also enjoy the Camaro's distinctive lines and looks. that texture is like Braille, but for cars.

With golf balls, the dimples produce lift. When it comes to boats. Inducing air under the hull "breaks" the surface tension of the water, "loosening" the hull on the water. We all know how much drag water makes. I believe the boats use "stepped" hulls for this.

I dont mind plstidip. But LINE-X on a camaro?

I saw a lifted truck that was line-x'ed and it was bad-ass. But a "race" car? grrrrrrrr

I can still see the bad bodywork that prompted this "finish", underneath that coating. That's pretty bad, when you can spot the damage under bedliner at 10 feet

That bedliner finish adds a bunch of weight...it looks terrible!

But not as terrible as those tail lights...poor guy!

I don't think it is a real Mach 1. Looks like regular GT brakes, and the hood scoop is all wrong. friggin poser!
