Well heres the back piece i finally got that done...it'll be a few days i imagine to get pics of it all in the car because I took out the 1st piece and i am redoing it. Decided to fill in the groove that goes around the shifter trim. This piece came out amazing theres a few high spots i'll have to wetsand out but thats ok.

 

nice!!! although i hope it doesnt get rubbed off....

 

nice nice, installed pics?

 

what did you fill with bondo

 

If you mean FILL, I think he filled in all of the texture on the plastic.

Judging by your pics alone, I would pay you to do some of MY trim pieces. They look good. Too bad paint never sticks completely to the surface and chips off and gets scratched.

 

yea did he coat in body filler and smooth out

 

I used a spot/glaze putty and just kept sanding haha its a shitload of work thats for sure...as far as it getting chipped up most of my pieces stay pretty good i only have one chip on my dash thats very small which is because of my stupid ex...she got screamed at for that haha but i really don't ever have anything in my car that will scratch it up. Yea if anybody wants something done pm me i'd be glad to do someone elses car for a change lol.

 

The work turned out very nice.

 

I agree, looks awesome man...keep it up!

 

Thanks guys

 

what type of paint did u use? spray cans? gun? what clear do you use?

 

I use spray cans on all my stuff Duplicolor truck, van, and suv spray and same for the clear

 

You should invest in buying the Sherwin-Williams colormatching spray in the factory colors. It's ~$10 a can, but it's awesome because it is the EXACT color of the car.

 

Dang I didn't know sherwin williams color matched...damnit lol oh well you can't tell that these pieces aren't a perfect match because it's in the car it'd be different if it was on the outside. God im tired of wetsanding i've been workin on this piece for about 2 hours this morning with 2000 grit my hands crampin up.

 

Yeah, GM buys their paint from Sherwin Williams. You get it in small and big spray cans and it's the factory paint. Makes for great touchups, and to color match the interior or enginebay.

Obviously Gm doesn't paint or cars with rattle cans, they load it up into their Robo-saurus and have it spray the cars down. But the paint is the same color and has a nice GM wrapper on it to make your dick hard after paying $10 for a can of paint.

 

i want to see it in the car!

 

Gotta wait I'm gonna guess it will be this weekend or maybe beginning of next week before it's in the car because i completely stripped the front piece down and im redoing it...and they are going in the car together! haha

 

cool, make sure to post lots of pics. I like the looks of this.

 

Nice!

 

you can count on that lol i may take some pics here in a few of my progress on the other piece.

 

how many coats of that clear u using? i can never seem get it that glossy

 

3 heavy coats...i usually wetsand after i put the base on with 2000 and then lay clear over that

 

It's hard to tell from the pics but if the paint is metallic you should never sand the base coat. Incase you didn't know

 

yea it is how come?
