shiney Paris ;)

[blackparis]

I KNOW I AM GAY, and MY CAR SUX.... if you aren't going to post anything nice DON'T post @ all...

OK, so today I spent 4 hours WASHING Paris Mudd came out of EVERY WHERE imaginable..... I pulled apart my inner fenders, well whats left of them....

Then I taped off my lower halfs and sprayed my Steel Grey Metallic,
I ordered NEW bumper front and rear, pre-painted the same Steel Grey Metallic....

This pic is immediately after painting the lower half.. YES the rear bumper is still primer, I will trash it when the new ones arrive...



Then I spent another 2 hours WET-SANDING both sides... And Sprayed 3 coats of Clear Coat on the sides, up to the windows.... And then it was dark....



I know it looks crappy ATM...

2moro I will be buffing everything smooth I have 3 different buffing compounds and a 10inch orbital buffer.. I expect my car to SHINE once again, It's already pretty shiny from just the clear coat, but it is not perfectly smooth yet...

I did NOT touch the rims...

Tom, do you put a dildo on the random orbit buffer for fun?

[sos_mike_518]

actually doesnt look too bad. better than primer

In all seriousness, why didn't you follow the molding on the side of the car? They fact that your two-tone starts about 2" above that molding makes it look random, and just doesn't look right. I would get some black, and spray lower so that the two tone follows the lines of the car.

Its in line with the seams of the bumpers... I'm terrible @ making straight lines, and thats where the primer was up to... I was originally going to shave that off wit a bit of bondo, but I'm too lazy, and just want to be DONE with body work...

If I were to do this, where would you Tape it off :

in the middle of the valley of the molding?
@ the top of the molding?
@ the bottom of the molding?

[Cossey]

I'd go right above the molding, cuz if you do it under, the black will get chipped often.

[mikecentola]

I'd probably do it right at the top part of it, in the valley. Hard to explain but I think you understand. Try some photoshop, I bet it would look better.

[blackparis]

Well.. its not a MOLDING.. its an Indentation.. goes in doesnt come out.. I was just going to fill it with bondo, but thats too much work for me...

OBS dont follow the molding...

:-D I'll call ya Tuesday

I'm currently back to my stock catback, cause the 3inch was killing my TRQ, and my ability to kick it sideways on the dirt...

[1320ride]

you'd like your car better if itd go sideways on dry pavement...with acceleration rather than hard cornering.
