Sourmash Im going sparingly w the polish, learning as I go. Too much rotational speed makes everything go down the drain. Pk- daves the same dummy that couldnt figure out how to change the front brake pads on his escort(ford lol), and then thought it was a good idea to beat the hell outta every panel on his car w the jack handle. Coulda just called for help. Now hes set for life.
Patched n painted a cupla things and shot the clear. Shot it fat and in the garage where I cant see chit. Got 4-5 drips dag-nabit! Weird, the paint and primer laid down flat and smooth as butter. The clear just pulled dust outta the air and shot it onto the flat surfaces. Or it settled there after. Gotta get super close and in the sheen to see it. Car looks stupid silly good holy friggin chit meng! So crazy glossy, I cant put into words. Love the color now. Hella people came by to check it out today and hung around jaws on the ground. Pics dont look so good but the color looks like you could dive into it. Just wow. I do need a real booth to shoot it in but wow this came out good.
not many waves, things pretty damn flat everywhere
Whats next? I dunno but ill figure something out soon

Friggin, ay! Nobody is gonna be able to tell it isn't a real one. Unless they worship the F40 and then they'll still have to keep looking.

 Looking good, if ya ever redo the paint again, just paint the back of the divide line black, not all 3 sides of the divide line area.[This message has been edited by ferrobi (edited 11-24-2020).]

Holy stromboli its been 7 months since I posted last lol. After I did the clear, I sanded it smooth then didnt do a thing for ages it seems. Touched up some spots yesterday, car has accumulated many a scratch from stuff falling on it, me climbing around. Was hoping it would be stronger but, anywho, gonna wrap it up. Hopefully this weekend im going to spend a full day shooting clear on this. I want a good 1/4" of armor cough cough I mean gloss. Fully moved out of sj now, and I got stuff piled on stuff thats hiding under stuff. So I need to finish the car because the parts are taking up needed real estate in the garage. Still starts and drives, leaky front tire. pics soon

Im workin on it steve jeeez! lol Got 20 acres outside of reno w a view of the lake.
Gotta wrap up the car a bit before I start building. Chevy got heisted, and always missed my 89 toyo w the poverty package, so I got the one in the pic. Got it modded and running better than its ever been. Make it back from my property on one tank of gas! 300+ miles to a 12 gallon tank. Fixing it up ignited the car bug and got me going on the fubabbi again.
Got the right air bags finally. Aerosport bags from universal air. $450 for 2 bags + brackets, these drop over the factory strut so u dont have to buy some janky overpriced universal strut at $1200 a pair
The sleeves didnt work out, but got me by
Bolted the bag to the strut after a wee bit o drillin n notchin
Quick hd run for some fittings and they work great at less psi
Hadta cut the wheelwells and notch the trunk area a bit to clear the new drop. Crazy 1" off the ground
buncha random pics
Onto paint- bugged my neighbor a few times for the compressor, couldnt wait lol. Today was the day, wife and kid are away, just me and mom. Dug out all the fittings and hoses and 2 lil 6 gal pancake compressors. Hosed em together and the 60 gal tank on the dead compressor, w a water separator on the outlet line. Hokeyasfuk but it works.
Put on a rockin 80's mix and off I went from 7:30am. Got the garage set up, car moved. Touched up a buncha red, several times. did the line the right way and what did I get? Phuc doo...
Woulda been a nightmare so...
Then onto as much clear as I could shoot, got about 3 coats on
Looks so wet! Should have it thick enuf where I can buff it out smooth. Should be able to get my welding buddy to start soon on the wing and vents.
