Re: slammed 57
nice and straight, great work.
when i do bodywork I use wax and grease remover, applied liberally, to check the straightness of the bodywork as i go. what color do you plan to spray? gloss, semi gloss, flat sheen? |

Re: slammed 57
Wow that looks good. Envious of you being done with the bodywork. I’ve been sanding for weeks. Driving by July?

Re: slammed 57

Re: slammed 57
Body work is the most time consuming part I think! Looking great by the way.

Re: slammed 57
will you lay down some sealer before paint in case of incompatabilities between manufacturers?

Re: slammed 57
Yes sir.. the base will lay down better and the seal helps for better adhesion with chips from road debris... from what Iam told

Re: slammed 57
Well I sprayed some smaller parts to get my gun adjustments dialed in( I really like this SPI base and clear) I put on 6 coats of clear to give me a little wiggle room for when I cut and buff. Hopefully if all goes well I’ll get the front fenders sprayed this week.

Re: slammed 57
I've always like that style of Intro wheel. It's had to go wrong with a clean 5 spoke wheel.
