<FONT SIZE="6">DAY 3</FONT>

Well this is just a quick mockup, this is my DD, so I need to drive it daily. Gotta go to work in about a half hour, so I threw the bumper on. This is the first coat on the bumper and second on the hood. Bumper looks pretty shoddy. Tonight our project will be my friend sanding down certain spots on the bumper and applying the putty and me popping off and sanding the fenders







That dent in the hood is really starting to bother me Only reason I don't do anything about it is I plan on replacing it with CF soon enough. And yes, it will be dropped as well I just got the car and I just wanted to take care of the paint first.

Here's a question for you guys. What about the lip? Paint it or leave it black?



Will update more tonight

I would have left the moldings black.

Hood came out nice, wish you were more patient with the bumper, but I know how it is. I once started wetsanding before the paint was completely cured, so it took twice as long to complete of I would have just taken my time.

Im probably painting my car the same color during spring break, that or black.

Well, my logic was, the moldings were all cut up and stained anyways. I figured I'd paint em and if I didn't like em painted, I'd spray em black, cuz I planned on doing that if I left em unpainted anyways. Painted moldings might looks good on the final product tho.

Yeah, I got really impatient with the bumper, it was such a pain in the ***. But we're fixing it up tonight, gonna fill in some cracks

Yes, I think it looks better than my flaky teal paint job that was on it before. It doesn't by any means look GREAT but what do you expect?

Wait till the final product to judge

RC_Benjamin

alright sorry, SO FAR it looks horrible

I agree.

i dont think the hood looks bad... it looks pretty even, with a slight shine in those pics.

the bumper though, needs a couple of more layers, you can still see the streaks.

btw, are you throwing your roller pads away after each use?

I'll do that when I paint tonight, but I didn't yesterday, because I painted the hood around 2:30 and then the bumper around 8:00. I probably should have tho? How long/ how many uses are they good for?

fventura03

iTrader: (1)

i dunno, they are so cheap i threw them away after each use...was wondering if you did the same too.

sixfiveoh

yeah, I bought 2 refill packs with 2 in each pack. They're cheap, I just don't wanna drive to the hardware store again for more I'm lazy.

I guess I'll put a new one on each day?

Whered Skeletor go with that photochop?

yeah because when the paint dries on the roller pad, it gets hard. so it's probably best to use one per day

I'm gonna be honest and say it looks like ***. You should have paid another $100 and went to 1 Day Paint, at least their paint will hold up for over a year. Hopefully you have some paint left and can save it for your wood fence.

dame his car is no where near done and some of you haters are talking ****..

let the man finish 1st if anything plus this is his daily driver

It's marine topside paint. It's used on boats. I have no worries in it lasting less than a year.

It looks like *** now, but so does MAACO. At least I can mask off EXACTLY what I want to and spend as much time as I want instead of paying $400-$500 for overspray all over my tires, engine bay, wipers, etc.

Thanks for being honest tho.
