Some updated pics

Snapped a few quick pics today. I blacked out my lights and wheels, and lower part of the rear fascia. I am debating doing the lower part of the front. I also installed a short shifter, but obviously not going to take pictures of that.

LOL, I couldn't even do it to someone else's car. It's all rattle-can, wheels, bumper, lights....

1. Wash the car.
2. Tape off area to be painted (take your time)
3. Scuff the area to be painted lightly with a Scotchbrite pad.
4. Wipe down the area to be painted with lacquer thinner to make sure it is dry and free of grease, water, etc.
5. Lay down a thin base coat of paint, just enough to make it tacky.
6. Lay as many coats of paint as you feel is necessary using long even passes, waiting at least 5 minutes between each coat.
7. Repeat step 6 with clear coat if you want it shinier.
8. Wet sand and buff the clear to make it like glass. ( I have yet to do this as I have no experience buffing.)

Sounds good to me!

Swollix no worries man. How about a cup of coffee?

Seriously though, let's setup a get together somewhere around Chastain or Barret Parkway.
Taco Mac on Chastain???

Might have to setup a thread in the Southeast section.

You should get Myles to come out too, if his car is back together...

Sure that would be great, I am in Kennesaw every weekend anyways... Afterward we can ride down to the local weekly car show and talk smack....
