• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

OK....I guess they shall be redone. And I got the at oreillys. Their just little plugs.

Thanks for input. I guess prep work is needed...the paint literally chipped off so a primer and sanding...got it
 


by aresol matches everytime, but its also $34 a can lol

the duplicolour crap never really works imo.

yeah ya marines, sand, prime (light coats) paint (light coats) 2000 wet sand just to take the bumps off, then clear, more clear, etc.. then a 2000 wet, polish, wax.

you can probably skip the wet sanding since they are quarter sized lol
 
sherwin williams automotive.

spray bombed my roof rails, spoiler, SE lip and now tail lights.. always matches perfect (after clear coat and polish lol)

This. Never had a problem myself. Get the right paint and not the duplicolor crap.
 


Your eyes would probably not be able to tell the difference. I used color paint from both Sherwin Williams as well as automotivetouchup and you can't tell the difference. For most guys its more cost effective to do it themselves instead of paying a body shop to do it.
 
only thing i ever notice is that my stuff isnt always AS glossy as stock.. but hell car's dirty most days so who cares lol

and its only when your inches away can you even remotely notice.

the stuff i buy is the same spray used in a professional paint gun, just from a can instead.
 


lastnight I took my upper intake off in search of my water leak. Today I found the cracked block behind the timing cover and tomorrow I will part out what I can before sending the rest to scrap...****ty 3100 -_- maybe next week ill pick up a gt/gtp
