Finally painted!!! LOTS of pic's (56k make a sandwich)
Monday, April 09, 2007 9:03 PM
well some of you may know me and some of you may not. ive only posted pictures of my car a couple times since ive joined.it was a slow progress. and even more slow after 3 accidents. got a small dent on my driverside door from a t bone, basketball goal fell on my hood. and a guy ran in to my back bumper.

i forgot to take pictures of all the damages before the bodywork started but those of you who know me outside of the org have seen the damage. the car has been painted torch red. shaved all three locks and both handles. shaved antenna. and shaved front fog light holes in bc2 kit. no mesh is installed yet at this moment but will be installed soon. i still have some cleaning up to do on here. some spots i forgot to tape up and my friend wound up spraying without noticing. interior is next . ive been sanding for the past week or so.

oh yeah. just to let everybody know before hand. i HAD rims but i sold them. and i have a drop on the car but its just not low enough. i plan on baggin it hopefully by the end of the year. 19's will come by the summer hopefully.

older pic i had with the rims a couple of years ago when i barely got the kit.








my friend puttin in the solenoids for the kit


first dent. had a scratch within the dent by the gas door


some small bumper repair where it cracked and where i got rear ended from some guy






solenoid mounted


removed antenna


some more work on the side










sanded down a lil




primed


custom flame job




me puttin panels back on




sorry i didnt get pix of any other body work..didnt have the camera for 2 weekends so heres the when we got done wetsanding






shaved front fog light holes




taped up and ready to paint




my friend spraying on sealer




if your wondering what those things ^^^ are on the window , they are my mirrors




2nd coat of paint








clearcoat layed on. 1st of 4 coats




her 1st day outside!




pictures i took of her today. shes still gotta be cleaned but these are ok for now.there is some over spray in the fender wells but im repainting them black within a few weeks sooooo dont worry.




look at that rear


still looks wet




my favorite pic of her


her new headlights

all comments are welcome.

way to go, buddy


only thing that grinds my gears is your rear bumper -

even taking into consideration the angle of the photograph, that is still WAY off!!

thanks man. well to be honest a good friend did the body work and paint for me.i got the paint from a family member for 385. that included: 1 gallon torch red,1 gallon chromaclear,sealer,activator and reducer. but i know when i originally got my paint quote it came out to about 375 for a gallon of torch red alone. red is expensive no matter what shade lol.all in all i paid close to 1500 for all the body work and paint and labor for my friend. got a hell of a deal.

It looks like your headlights are recessed in, or the hood isn't fitted well.

Other than that, it looks amazing. Very nice.



DISCLAIMER
I'm a bitch. Look out. I'm here to start drama.
Please take everything I say seriously.

yea i noticed that about he headlights. it might be the headlights. the hood is in the same spot. theres not a whole lot of play with moving around the headlights though. so adjustments are gonna be kinda hard. thanks though!

i thnk the back bumper just looks that way from that angle. because if the picture is right, then ive never noticed it being that off.
