LMAO!!

 

everyone is pretty much done. theres like me and 1 Honda Accord that is going in. I just have to finish prepping and then ill be good to go. Im gonna actually sit down and make a list of what needs to be done and what order im gonna do them in. that way it gives me a better idea

 

good idea dont be like me and just go at it then realize later you forgot to do something

thats how i ended up with a kid haha jk

 

lol thats what i find myself doing. like painting something and then going "**** i had the black mixed i could have hit ____ while im doing this"

 

whatd you do to get the paint off your headlight lenses i need to redo mine

 

i actually had painted over the vinyl, so all i had to do was peel off the vinyl lol. but i need to take the paint off my taillights and i heard plastic bumper stripper works good

 

ya i did some eyelids and fucked up so i sanded it down and primered over it to do it again not realizing i was using a laquer paint and i primed with an enamel

 

Id be afraid of paint strippers on the plastic headlight lense. I think sanding is the best way. Thats what im afraid of on the taillights

 

i got most of it off on one i just need to finish it its a pain in the ass

 

like the wheels and interior parts

 

Yeah man, I even personally know of a friend whom has his 2.2l Ecotec cover painted and airbrushed to accent the rest of his car. I say go for it.

Man you're touching everything you can, I admire that. Props, wheels look great too!

 

Thanks guys appreciate it. Yea im trying ot be thorough

 

Hurry up and finish thanks.

 

lol its comin dont worry! 1 more week

 

man this car is gonna be ****!!!

 

and i feel cool after painting my headlights...

this is true amazingness.

 

how long did it take you to tape the rims up to have that perfect lip?

 

holy **** the wheels look incredible...

 

didnt take long to tape them up, just sprayed the lip a color, didnt mask the rest of the rim up as you can see in the earlier pics, cause overspray isnt a big deal since its all getting covered, then when they fully cures just take a piece of vinyl pinstriping tape and run it around the lip, after you mask up a few things it gets easier to do, just try to follow the line thats already there, and then spray your other color, let it dry, unmask and clear.

you gotta see em out in the sun. im gonna try to get some good pics tommorow

 

wow, I missed the pics of the wheels. They look great!

 

kev seeing as your going paint crazy, i think you need to paint that valve cover brotha

 

why the orange man?? are you gonna paint the car the same color as these parts you sprayed? just curious..

 

Yes he is painting the car orange. All you have to do is read back through the thread.

 

I look at my engine bay and am so temped to spray it black too now. haha.

I love the orange you went with. Wheels looks sick.

 

Where did you get that cover for the battery? Did you customize it yourself to say cobalt ss?
