Lookin sweet bruh!! Man PLEASE tell me thats a new water pump!! LOL! I must have missed an earlier post. I thought I read that your old one was knocking or something. Working on the wells now. I didnt like the finish so I'm re-sanding. I saw something that would have came thru. Not enough light in the shop to wet sand after work. I'll keep you posted bruh...

HAHAHA!! You know Saint keeps a beer sleeve on deck!! Got some action. Now bruh you gotta remember this is all home grown. Im not a pro so there's gonna be some lil things here and there. But overall it will give the bay that extra touch. I got a few runs here and there. I get em in the same spots everytime cuz of the angles. Now if i knew how to cut and buff, i could fix a run and keep it moving... Most of the runs will be hidden cuz of where they are located. Im hoping the heat will smooth em out...Thats what you get from Rustolium. It sputters out and then I gotta lay another coat....

This is the drivers side. The rear had a run but its down low in the well behind the window wiper motor area. So thats all good..

Couple runs bruh. This Rustolium sputters out and then its all bad. LOL! Spray to correct=more paint and run stars. But still looks sweet..

If I knew how to cut and buff, then runs wouldnt stand a chance bruh. But the labors free so there ya go! Pretty sure you will love em...Imma have the passenger side done. That one usually comes out sweet cuz there's no weird angles. Imma use 3 different cans. When I get about 1/4 of the way thru one can i'll switch to a new can. Also Imma leave the cans out in the sun for an 1 or so. That might control the "fogging", overspray and sputtering. Hope you like!
