Tomorrow i plan on finishing the doors and hopefully the hatch to. Geth them ready for paint. Rear bumper is almost ready for paint.
keep it up man!
looks really good man, keep us posted
Thanks everyone...im feelin a little sick today or something (may be the pollen). I got the numerous dents in the fenders worked out. Got the fenders primed and guide coated. Alomst done with the driver door. May have it primed tonight. All thats left is blocking the fenders and pass. door, prime driver door and guide coat/block it, and start working on the hood and hatch. The bumpers wont need a work so those will just be straight up prime/guide coat/block and they will be ready for paint. Already have the rear bumper sanded down. Chris is supose to come down tonight and help me so hopeful we'll get a good amount of work done. I already painted the fuel door and put it on and put the glass in the mirrors. I'll try to have pics up tomorrow night. Hopefully i'll start painting the doors then.
yo, that looks good man
thanks :goodjob:Quote:

In the pic of the fuel door, you can see the nasty orange peel i was talking about. Hurray for wet sanding :rolleyes: But everything else turned out great.

wet sanding gonna take out that orange peel? Practically a glass job on the gas door though :goodjob:
yeah cause i put 3 pretty heavy coats on..just going to be alot of wetsanding that om not looking foward to...and im not going to make it perfect cause its not a show car or anyting. Time is whats killing me right now. Thanks on the compliment :)Quote:

keep up the work. looking damn good. cant wait to see it finished.
Is orange peal(sp) normal for a new car...like an 05. I was waxing the car today and noticed that the paint isnt like glass. its got the dimples like an orange.
i keep seeing orange peel more and more on newer cars...needs to be wet sanded and sprayed again....dunno how that ish makes it through quality control.Quote:

Ever since that kid threw PVC pipe out of his car about 7 months ago my front bumper looks like shattered glass. I'm just going to wait until I have time and an extra car and try and prep the car myself for paint. Just need to learn how to do it lol.
Looks sick man... cant wait to see it finished.
Thanks man, same here lolQuote:

I have to leave in a sec to make the hour drive back to my apartment cause i have class tomorrow at 8am...why we start this quarter on a friday, idk but its stupid as hell. Tomorrow i plan on painting the bumpers and door handles and possibly the hood. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow if i have time.
Almost all cars have some grade of orange peel. its on a scale of like 1-10 (10 being similar to the surface of the orange and 1 being glass) I believe most mass produced cars have some orange peel cause i think they're painted by a machine. My moms $50k STS has a good bit of orange peel. but for some reason my accord is a 1.5 aside from the swirl marks.Quote:
