Since you are going to re-shoot the area you should really do a little boxing of the frame rails everywhere you can. It will really help with the strength of the frame and make it respond quicker to steering input. Less wasted HP going into twisting the frame so more gets to the ground too.

shaping up nice

smokedat · 10-26-2010, 05:27 PM

I got my hinges and springs back they turned out good

smokedat · 10-26-2010, 05:33 PM

finished spraying the frame and the rear end just waiting to dry then il put it back together. I sprayed this in my garage it ruind the floor its all sticky.

Sooner84 · 10-26-2010, 05:38 PM

Very nice! I love that blue.

RandyP · 10-26-2010, 05:53 PM

Sherwin Williams sells a product you spray on the floor (bug sprayer) that creates a tacky film that washes away (along with overspray). Also most guys who are spraying in their garage/shop will at least wet the floor down while spraying to avoid overspray on the ground (and help with dirt/dust). Just a helpful hint, especially on the Sherwin Williams product (product # is 55 in case you want to get some).

Of course, after you're all done painting, it would be a perfect time to put a nice coating down on your garage floor. Perfect excuse to do it too!

Oh, and I love that color as well. Nice shade of blue there.

smokedat · 10-26-2010, 10:40 PM

Heres how it shines with direct sun light

RandyP · 10-27-2010, 07:50 AM

Very nice. The shine and depth are awesome. Forget coating your garage floor, you're going to want a mirrored floor to show that off!
