Hey Warren....Nice job man. Hey what did you use to fill the holes on the inner fenders. And just a spray can of black rustoleum, and no clear? Jesus man, nice job.

Thanks bruh! Man its just a lil "hood" job. I used some "Loc Tite" 2 part epoxy/hardener from Pep boys. I just scuffed the holes to be filled with 60 grit on the top, inside the holes and bottom of the wells. Cleaned and taped the bottom of the well. mixed up the epoxy and filled the holes. Only thing I dont like about the loc tite is that its runny. So I let it sit out and thicken up a lil and then poured it. Then knocked it down and used some "filler primer". I didnt use clear. Straight from the can of Rustolium 500 degree gloss enamel. I just overlapped each spray by like 1". Its all about not getting overspray. The overspray is what "dulls" it down. Still shiny, but not creamy looking. This is an OK job for a home job. Mell will love it. The lil problem areas will be hidden once the well is installed. Mel will tell you...Warren worries about lil stuff too much. HAHAHA! Im trying to get this paint to lay as smooth and creamy as possible straight from the can. I could sand it (cut it) and then buff it like the shops do. But I think Ive come up with a nice lil system. I'll hand polish em after the paint dries/cures for a few days. Its sitting out in the sun right now. Thanks again bruh. Preciate the love...

Ok. Passengers side is sanded, cleaned and ready for paint in the morning.

Imma knock this out and let it dry out in the sun for the rest of the week. I'll let you decide on if you wana hand polish em. They are smoother and wetter than mine!! #lowkeyhatinonyou!!! :evil:

Looking good Doc, sounds like I'll have them in a week or so. What did u use to polish yours?

 

[Bumpin1ohmSS]

I used some Mothers swirl remover and then some mother's carnauba wax. Im tellin you, urs out shine mine bruh. I did mine up to 1000 grit and your set up to 2000 grit paper. That might be the difference....And they fell smooth as hell....Yep. Weather is beautiful. I need some denatured alcohol so I can the other one down before I spray it. Without my wheels I cant just go get stuff now. Stranded at home til Roro gets here...Sucks...
