Coming along nicely. Is it me though or does the primer not look very evenly coated. Like you were spraying a little to close to the surface ?
Quoted from beatmaster:what you see is a black guide coat (very light) on top of the primer. very useful when i'm going to sand it down.
Ahh ok. Never heard of this before. How does it help ?
Quoted from MustangPaul:Oh man you gotta light up the ball lock kick out plastics. I put a Comet double red flex in each and WOW does it light up. Looks A LOT better in real life.
Ok, your really pissing me off ! Just when i think i have things looking great on my SS you have to come up with another great idea!! Stop it !!!
Im thinking about it. How does it get installed ? I assume there are holes for the speakers ? It does look cool though.
Holy Crap!!!! Well done !! Is that auto clear ? How the hell did you get that kind of shine ? Truly impressed my friend !!
Quoted from beatmaster:yes it's auto clear (fusion).
i'm not done yet, i'll make it flat monday (removing the bumps (edge) from the two colours) and at least 2 other coats and then if it looks good and no dust, i'll leave it like that, if so, 1200/2000 grid and buffing.next weekend or before, it should be home.
I quit!!! This is bullshit!! How the hell is anyone supposed to keep up with this ????
Quoted from MustangPaul:Just like painting a car.
Whatever !!!
Quoted from beatmaster:exactly
Bite me !!!
How the hell are we supposed to live up to this kind of expectation with are restos ??? Stop raising the bar so damn high !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, now tave vented...(deep breath) ... your work is f.....in... freakin amazing !!!!!!!
