Painted Lower trim.. Came out straight.

jigga225 · 09-16-04, 09:51 AM

Ordered a can from paintscratch.com
- sanded, degreased, primed and then shot. barely got it all with one can. 4-5 coates all the way round. Check it out.

peace

looks great! did you use adhesion promoter or just primer?

jigga225 · 09-16-04, 10:05 AM

i used this stuff called "bond-aid". got it at wal-mart.
i'm only worried about the front bumper sticking.. b/c it has to deal with all the elements (rocks, bugs, etc). I hope it holds up!

did you use a spray gun? damn looks nice

edit: you used paintscratch..wow turned out good for a spray can.

i don't think there's anything to worry about. Mine was painted about a month and a half ago and its holding up fine - no problems.

i think you should maybe put some of the invisible bra onto the bottom part. it's that clear tape that people put on their hoods to protect their paint. it'd be good to just cut some strips for the bumper after hte paint is set right.

Nice Job-I hope it holds up for ya.

omg...i want to do that, but i have this uncanny knack to scuff the HELL outta my lip on these weird ass incline entrances here...i hate that sh*t...and on two occassions i actually scuffed (no damage i think) the Remus tips leaving from these inclines

KINGFABIAN · 09-18-04, 03:34 AM

Cool I think it makes your car newer for some reason. I always liked the black two tone factory finish but this looks new and fresh. I would like to do it too but with my drop Ill kill the paint job on it in 1 week guaranteed. And if I dont do it WIFEY will certainly have her way with it. As is my bottom piece looks like someone been chewing on the edges. Yours looks tight...Know the legend looks like a 99-00 model heh heh.
O yeah and paintscratch.com IS THE SHIZNIT!! used it myself and the match is perfect and last loooooooong time.
