Painted my SI Lip back to stock last night - TONS of PHOTOS

SPORT INJECTION · 2002-08-22 14:24:14

Ok heres the cliff notes. I scratched the shit outa my lip awhile back, I then painted it black as a quick fix. I recently found out they made milano red paint, and decided to fix it myself. It turned out pretty good IMO. Its not bodyshop quality of course, but it will be good enough for now. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/p1aae7bfbadf03ebe73a8e1ae327b7c33/fd5e9589.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/pe830c5730ba09cddfcf3b7cd73f56005/fd5e8d11.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/pfd2718d68a1b5d8c4c5ee4b2fe85c360/fd5e8c45.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/pfdb9b2a9decc9090a0352e74b39a1d74/fd5e89e7.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/p7a14b8186a9254c297bc88b21a6c3d15/fd5e890b.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/p325565d12941d742ac7c0447d5734e39/fd5e890a.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid29/pf5bd0af265d11fc9fbd3d1de57e0e676/fd5e8878.jpg

Get a VX. Get rid of that car, its too heavy. Plus you just added more weight painting your lip.

Looks pretty good.

a couple more coats of clear coat, and some more wet sanding would make it glossier,

but its still well color matched

My thoughts exactly. The color seems to match perfect but it really does need some clear. It kinda has an orange peel look to it.

do ya think I could just keep it on the bumper, mask it off, and put some more clear on it? Instead of removing it again....

that could work, just make sure it aint windy, even if its clear, over spray is overspray.

Re: Painted my SI Lip back to stock last night - ** TONS of PHOTOS ** (Sucka Free)

I would just take it off. It's not that hard. That would suck to get over spray. I've got a spare MR Si lip too. I guess it's for sale - since I don't have that front end. It is of OSM's car from Club Si.
