looking good so far! curious to see the final product.

I wish I had the equipment to paint...I'd paint everything! even my own arm!

lag · 09-11-2005, 06:59 PM

Is everything a nice white hue now?

Wiscon_Mark · 09-11-2005, 08:31 PM

is this gonna match your overall exterior? Or do you plan to get that resprayed too?

sha_zapple · 09-11-2005, 09:38 PM

I just took the tape and stuff off. It matches Pretty well I think! Its obvious its new paint, but I think I just have to go at my original paint with some cleaner (the cars pretty dirty right now!)

Now that you have the car primered a nice white, what real color are you going to pick?

Love it!

sha_zapple · 10-13-2005, 06:49 PM

Thanks

So far everything has held up well, even the paint on the inside of the mudflaps. A huge rock did hit my mirror though and put a nice chip in it

it really dented the plastic too, so its not like the paint is weak.

Why would you paint the inside.....jus kiddin.

Looks great Lee. I wish like anything I knew how to paint - well that is.
