well finally finish painting my bumper,sides and a few other things about 4am. with having to be work at 6:30 sucked. i also have to redo the fender for some reason there was a reaction when i layed the base. i do need to do a final wetsand and buff of everything so bear with the not so perfect finish. i think the front bumper is much easier on the eye with the indigo hiding the sides of the bumper like i hoped it would. please leave comments and thanks for looking.



















the man, the myth, the.... oh just jason.



















and thats where i was at, at 4am.


















thank you again for looking hope they all loaded for you. now tell me what you think.

Looks awesome man

Bad ass!

looks really good. only suggestion is to re wrap the door panels. the red just doesnt clash, and something with the seats as well. other than that. its badass

RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

Lookin good man. Question i have is did you use a 2k primer or that dupli-color can i see in the pic? If you did use the rattle can did you let it flash for 24 hours before topcoating it with the base? We've tested that stuff and ther is no adhesion to the rattle can stuff with in the 24 hour mark because of it still flashing off and it also reacts because of the two different resin bases.

I believe all you do is remove the spring. PITA I've heard.

yes i'm guilty of using the rattle can. it was around 12hrs before the paint on the door panels, everything else was over 24hrs even the fender. which is the only piece i had a problem with. on that i think it was more of a problem when i sanded it for primer.



jnickel- eternal is right just remove the spring. sounds easy but is really hard.

Very nice! I love that color.

i demand better (bigger) pics today, outside in the sun!
and what did all of this run you, if you dont mind me asking?
also, what guns did you use? you mentioned you didnt like them in another post

here's a link to flickr for larger photos. unfortantly i didn't have anytime to mess with the car today due to trying to catching up on sleep and having to work 12pm-8pm.

also price was i thinking around $200-$220. actual base and clear only ran $160.

looks good....great paint skillz


GMR has got nothing on this

looks great man...

the only complaint I have is that the red on the interior does clash with the blue like someone else said...

other than that, awesome.

its cool bro just wondering. But you shold be ok since it was out of the 24 hr range. When we tested this at PPG, inside that range there is still a solvent lingering in the primer and when it is based then cleared it would trap the solvent in and it would react with the resin base of the base and clear causing it to bubble and eventually peel off. Looks good though, I concur with tabs get some outside sun pics

Great work!

gotta love that price
btw....youve got a PM about the guns

ok well here are the photos from out in the sun. i tried to capture where i knew the imperfections were. i think i'm hard on myself because i strive for excellance, but lack experence. most all should know how that goes. i also threw the last photo in there for bubba.










this an actual can from a guy at work. lol



sad thing is i'm out of room for photos in flickr. so no more till next month.
