So the ppl that had this car befor me a fucking idiots. They tried to do a wire tuck and just fucked everthing up here what they did



Engine harness went through that hold. So it was in the wheel well so every time the car bounced the tire would hit the wires and fucked it up. Also they had it wraped up in a plastic back the wraped in duck tape





So i pulled all the wire's back and took all the hast black tape holding it together and solder them back up.

Well i did the first coat on the bay with the White and i think it look pretty sexy but i need to do another coat then a shit load of clear. i think it coming out good what u guys think. And again this is my first time ever going this.

It looks a little mottled, like if the temperature is too cold the spray thickens and doesn't coat as smoothly. I'm going to guess that wherever you are it must be cold as hell since you have a radiator/heater thingy in the engine bay, and that coldness is contributing to the mottled look of the paint.





Or it could just be the way the light is hitting it, I could be wrong!

Looks good otherwise.:bigok:
 
#30 ·
Lol ya its gold over here but i left the heater on all night so it should be warm in there now. So im going to wet sand it agin with some 1500 and spray it again.

But thanks, Also any advice is welcome!!!
 
#31 ·
ok well i used the 1500 an it really didnt do shit so i used the 400 grit. witch really helped alot bec it felt kinda bad. so then i sprayed it again it cam out a lil bit better but its still not realy smooth like i want it.

And one have any advice so how it get it good?
