When I ride around it doesn't rub at all, only sometimes when the wheel is locked turning left I think? I've managed to get it to where nothing really rubs anywhere luckily. And if I ever hit that inner fender then my bags would be blowing up haha
 
One of my airlines was saggy in the back I guess because a ziptie broke and the exhaust melted a hole in it. My back tire dropped all the way down and luckily I had a coupling to fix it. I just cut out the hole and put the line back together.

I also stopped and got a small iphone photo shoot tonight after work. I'm still trying to line up a legit camera man, but these turned out alright. The fender came out okay, probably about as good as spray paint is gonna get but the gloss doesn't match the rest of the car. It came out a satin or flat-ish white. Anyway heres some pics, the last one is my favorite.

Looking good.

You can wet sand and buff the fender to get that satan look out.

Looks like you need a new exhaust hanger.
 


I tried wetsanding some, i might need to try it again. I think i might have just painted it bad though. And on top of that the color match paint from autozone was kind of crappy, I didnt like it very much
 
I just always had the same problem with all the stuff I painted..spoiler n roof rails. If youre using duplicolor clear coat, its garbage n givea the flat instead of glossym order some clear n base from automotivetouchup.com and I swear youll be happy. The clear coat is nice n shiney. Its not completely mirror like my stock paint but def barely noticeable. But I didnt wetsand or anything. Check out my ride thread to see what im talking about if you have time. I just made another order from them n got the paint yesterday! Cars looking good still man, lovin it

You SOB
 
Clear coating with a rattle can ****ing sucks.

It always ruins it. Are there lines in it too from making passes with the spray?
 


Yeah theres some lines from the clear coat. I might get some of that touchup paint and try again. Is that stuff in cans too?
 


Yep, aerosol cans..type in your year, make n name. Then pick color n click cans. 20 bucks a can n 8 for clear. Then 8 to ship too. So buy at least 3 or 4 is what I do and shipping is still 8.
