Lol i was thinking about rattlecanning mine since my hood is going to be black and it was just gonna be black and it would be easy to get in there, but i decided no ill try to do it a little better. Just get a scotch bright and scuff it all up real good. if you get a little touch up gun and pin point it you can get in some pretty tight spots

 

Yep, mine is **** brown right now, and the trucks gonna be gunmetal... don't think those match very well.

 

lol **** brown. thats what i call like any brown car I see

 

Yeah, its actually a really nice metallic brown, but I still think it looks like ****.

 

lol **** brown with sparkles

 

like when a 3 year old eats glitter glue instead of regular

 

single stage only looks good for so long...its cheap though.

 

yea but its an engine bay, it wont be exposed to the UV as much as the exterior of a car, so it should be alright for a long time. Unless you tink i should try base clear. Ill have black material left over and im sure ill have some clear. I can try it.

This Wednesday at my school there having a SATA Rep come down and go over SATA products and guns and stuff. It has nothing to do with our school they just use the body shop and its free and anybody can show up. Alot of guys in body shops in our area usually show up. The Rep usually brings material and guns and lets everyone spray different things. And last couple years they gave away a pretty sweet SATA T-shirt so ill definitly be there lol. Im gonna be at the shop workin on my car anyways

 

Sounds like a good way to rub elbows with some company owners and get your name out there too.

 

yea and walk him around the cobalt SS and show those bitches what were all about

 

yeah i just did the waterbourne clinic through sata for the new stainless internal 3000's. they can be used for solvent base and water based paints.......honestly i dont like spraying single stage on things regardless. remember its your car and your putting quite a bit of money and work into your paint. use base and clear.

 

progress looking good so far
keep it up

 

Headliner done, what a pain in the ass. Some1 told me 2 of SEM colorcoat would be enough...try 5. Luckily theres a carquest open here on saturday with a paint section that sells it












What a pain. And i didnt have anything to get the glue off of the sun visors so it's either get a replacement sticker to go on them, or find something to get the glue off and spray them again

 

Dude your putting in mad work on this car. It will look great when finished.

 

glad to see you didnt kill yourself getting the sunroof out haha

 

lmao I didnt think i had to take the glass out and all to get the damn slider out, but yea you do. pretty crazy, that was my 1st headliner. Im sitting on the computer right now with my sunroof glass sitting right next to me. Im gonna leave it out till after the cars painted. That way I can get under that lip there when the sunroof opens.

 

that sucks man. i didnt have to take out my sunroof to get that **** out lol.

 

did you have the sunroof in the open position? I had to take out the 2 torx bits holding that metal plate directly behind the glass to get it to slide out

This piece, the black piece with the torx on top

 

no i didnt....i loosened up every single bolt. but the front ones i left on but loosed a bit and then took the rest completely off to tilt the sunroof downwards and i was able to get the torx bit in there with a 1/4" socket. go look in the fi section

 

ohh strategyy pays off

 

lol yeah my car was on a lift so theres no way i had clearance to get it outta the car anyways so i had to get creative......check out the gauge pod progress. i took pics for you.

 

for me!?!?! !

 

yes you requested them
