No prob bruh. I tested that paint. Its high gloss. I just threw the satin cap on it... But now you have the code for the satin. The wells still need to be dry sanded up to 600 and then wet up to 2000. This is just the block sanding stage to make sure the low spots are leveled out...All over it fam!!

Hope you prepped it good fam. Did you use that adhesion promoter? That will aid in helping it adhere. Rustolium interior spray sucks *ss! Looks good at first, but after some "wear and tear" it will break down. Start looking for some SEM fam for later. Looks clean tho.... Let that sit out in the sun for a few days and really bake on...Seriously...Let it sit out for a few days bruh. HAHA! I know you want it in but the show is a lil ways away. Just let it sit out for some time and then drop it in....

it will work for now bruh. After the show, you can strip that off and hit it with some SEM. I can get a can for you from USAVMOR paint supply in the Dino. Its $12 per can... The Rusotium has a chemical scent to it so you most def wanna let it sit out so the interior doesnt have that scent....

Sweet! Man Ive been using SEM paints since 2001 and love it! Ive never had any fading issues or lifting issues with SEM. But like I said..With any paint/dye its all about the prep of the part, and taking your time while spraying it...Roll with what you have for now and step it up with some SEM later....

Did a lil more sanding today on the wells. I have some personal stuff to deal with this week so I wont be doin much on em. Then Im hittin AZ this weekend to work on the Elco. I'll be back on em Monday when I get back to Cali. My goal is to have em ready for you by Saturday July 16 so you can install em and floss at the run...
