Why are you doing it in the basement? Unless, getting high was an added incentive...

windy and cold outside. no wind and warm inside :) controlled surroundings.. better painting.

TinyGiant · 10-01-2009, 06:44 PM

TinyGiant · 10-01-2009, 08:17 PM

seems they came out a little darker than the car. we'll see tomorrow when its light out

TinyGiant · 10-01-2009, 08:23 PM

think its worth using some 0000 steel wool on them then doing another coat? or just clear coat them?

What color primer did you use? You can use the same exact paint code, but if you use a different color primer then what they painted on originally, then they can change the color.
If you used grey, they may have used white.
If you used black, they may have used grey.

I used white primer. I had a couple scratches on the car and it seemed white below the paint.

Here are a couple pics of them clamped to the car

maybe they used grey primer? i guess that would make sense. the inside of the car is like a blue/grey color i'd hate to sand a prime over what i've painted already. but its do able

i was thinking about painting the part that meets with the car the same satin black as the other black stuff on the car .. idk why but it might add some dimension to it
