Had some fun with a rattle can this weekend... got sick of a 2 tone car with a crooked grill support, so I gave it a world. Knew it wasn't gonna come out perfect (or even close to it)... but for 60 bucks worth of paint (& the fun factor), it was a blast. Car's theme is 'rat styles' & 'all motor' anyways!  It was all good & seemed too easy while applying the base coat - however it all went downhill once the clear was introduced into the equation. Looks good from far away - but when you get close, you can see it running... oh well, cheap fun. All in all, I'm happy its at least in ONE color, now! http://www.autopaintdirect.com/ Enjoy!     more below... __________________

Ha, funny.. just had one beer.  No, it dont look too bad from a few feet away, but when you get close you can see some parts of the bumper which are 'shinier' than others. Grill support came out very well - I guess cause it was a smaller area (& the wind was not as strong).

Give yourself some credit on the paint job! Doesn't look bad at all. | | | | | 04-05-2010, 10:46 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 |
bumper has 6 small plastic studs, while the mesh center piece has corresponding holes.. unfortunately, all but 2 broke off since it is an Ebay replacement & off course the mesh piece does not fit the opening on the bumper.. therefore right now it is being held by epoxy & gorilla tape. I'll take pics... also of the car when I put it together & wash it next weekend.

thanks man... will look even better after I wet sand it off a bit, & maybe re-apply a thinner, more even, coat. Quote: Originally Posted by StealthBimmer Give yourself some credit on the paint job! Doesn't look bad at all. | __________________

unfortunately, my work is kicking my ass these days, so week days & nights are shot for me... BUT, if you ever decide to do it over a weekend, I'm in. We can go get a beer or some... let me know, you got my cell, right? We can get Pat to come out too.. with his little bad ass ti.
