Nice wheels!

In a national butt rub survey Kittens prefer Gunmetal 5 to 1!

 

looks alot like a house in the first pic.

 

very nice.

 

what is all that white stuff? and can you tel us how youre preping it i would like too know.


nice caa

 

all the white stuff is the body filler(bondo) that i have sanded off the car. i had a dent on the rear by the glass, so i am filling it with bondo beofre painting.

 

wow planning to keep the car long? go over a railroad track a few times and there goes the bondo.

Its baby powder...he's rubbing the butt with baby powder to make it all soft and not ruff. You know how it is...its like his baby. I mean...I don't do that to my car though.......

Nice ride though...damn it must've cost you a lot to do a 5 lug conversion right? Nice EG though

how else to you fix dents then? please enlighten us.

 

Painting a car isn't too hard if you have a clean place to work and the right equipment. What you really need is a good, high volume compressor (which can be rented) and a decent paint gun. I did a full re-pait on my old milano red hatch and will be painting my new CX project in the BMW metalic gray (awesome color IMHO)

Follow the link in my sig for pictures.

love the 5 lug conv.......looks good

 

thanks for all the comments guys, I hope that once its painted, it will look decent.

 

well anything would look better than over spray from your house being o there. hell you sould of painted it when u painted the house, hell u did the tree's and toy's and grass. why not the car.

 

a good alternative other than bondo..and wont crack...is MAHR GLASS...you can buy a gallon for about 30.00...im currently working on the same thing...my hatch looks worse than his...i'll post pics when i can...i used MAHR GLASS to fix my dents and shave my doors...

he's right...it'll crack in no time!

 

it would look sick painted to match the oem ITR wheel color.....

 

All you need to paint your car is a bunch of cans and a garage. That's all I needed. If I knew how to post pictures I would show you but yea, not to sure how to do it.

And that is one hell of a Bird Turd on your car man!

 

God take me now, please.

 

bryan, you not sellin the 5-lug anymore?

 

na he's being a bastard about the 5 lug.

 

damn, cuz if he was willing to sell for what he was before...id ****** it up
