:beatdeadhorse5: i just finished spraying the last coat of primer. i cant even begin to tell you all how awesome it is too see the whole car free of dents, and eventhough its just primer that its all one color. my bumper will be here on thursday of this week, again courtesy of nodohc :001_005:. im going to be doing some interior updates as well. pictures will be posted of that as well when i start. thats just gonna be a nice home winter project when im bored.

That has to be a good feeling. It's going to be sweet when its all done!

.........you are gonna have a nicer FC then me kyle :( ;)

Mine is falling apart while yours is rising up. Cruel world

how in the hell is yours falling apart? oh!! and i cleared the hood! it s pure sex... and not just normal sex... the best sex... BUUTTT...an unfortunate event occured that may cause me to have to re clear it. the filter fell out of the ceiling a little bit when i was spraying it so the hood is really dirty. so im hoping i can sand it out and polish it and everything be ok. but if not ill re spray it and it will be fun again. i have the s5 bumper and its almost ready for primer. ill post pics of it soon. for now ill post what i have of the dirty bitch hood

this doesnt do it justice.:001_005:

wooohooo!!! beers on the weekend!!!! drunk!!! good times. hows everyone

That hood does look good though... Is the color down on the body now? I'm impatient :)

What clear did you use on the hood? Is it cut and buffed in that pic? Looks awesome

No...the body is not in color. I'm waiting until everything is ready for paint. I need to finish prep for the bumpers and get them primed then I'll get the body sanded down and get the whole thing painted.

As for the hood in those pics it's not cut and buffed. Today I got it buffed with a wool pad which is stage one. I still have two more to go. I used a flexed glasurit clear. I think it's 926-something. It took me a bit to sand al the dirt out because of the damn filter.

Good looking clear. Was it reduced at all? What size tip and pressure at the gun please :D

I use U-pol Clear - 20:80 I BELIEVE. I've found that with my 1.3 tip and 40ish psi at the gun it lays pretty flat.

im used a SATAjet 3000 w a 1.3 tip. no reducer just a fast hardener and i sprayed at about 29-30 PSI at the tip of the gun. 3 coats and i went pretty slow :icon_tup:. i love spraying clear.

That much pressure at the tip? Damn, how are you measuring it at the tip? One of those special adapters that I've only heard of and not seen?

Ya lol that much. And we have another regulator at the end of the hose right before the gun. :001_005: i just finished the second pad for the buffing.. one more to go and ill try to post pics tonight:driving:

gettin closer to paint time. preppin door jams and hatch now:001_005:

k so im gettin the interior done before i do the door jams so i dont fuck them up tryin to do it later.... so the whole inside of the car is stripped right now except the front carpet piece. im still tryin to get it out:puke:. as far as the inner wiring goes, how much of that do i actually need... i dont use my ac because it doest work. im going to use the a racepak digital display for my gauges. Can i get rid of any of it at all or should i just not worry about it? also im going to be puttin a dash in that is from a s5 car. my concern with this is that while the connectors may all match up im worried about the wires inside the connectors being diff. case in point.. i tried to use a headlight switch from a s5 car with my s4 headlight harness and the headlight worked in the opposite way (down being up and up being down) i could hear the relays making funny noises and then i smelled buring:banghead:. anyone have some input?
