Didn't seem that fast to us. Painting was postponed a few times due to weather, and to us it took forever. Still got a few things to due paint wise, but we are ready to move on to other things for a few weeks. Thanks for the comment!

If it's taller, I assume you have checked that the height will not hinder the hood shutting? The 2 previous suggestions would be good!

Thanks! Probly hard to tell in the pictures, but the blue went maybe a shade darker when we shot the clearcoat. We are happy with the results, especially since we are 1st timers and doing it in a 2-car garage.

Thanks! Looks a little funky without the bodykit on it. Paintwise only the Hood and Spoiler need some attention. Will probly take a break from painting for a week or 2 and work on something else.

Clearcoat (4 coats) turned out pretty good, little trash in the roof in front of the sunroof. Will have to resand that section and reshoot that part. Otherwise good to go. All the body kit has been cleared with 4 coats, but I'll spare you guys all the pictures.

Untaped all the black and preping for clearcoat. No turning back now. By sefugi at 2010-07-25 By sefugi at 2010-07-25 By sefugi at 2010-07-25 Let's get to clearing!

Got the blue re-shot, had good luck and no trash in it this time. This stage done and moving to the next...

My son and I look like 2 Oompa Loompas!

All taped up and ready. Hope this is the last time taping. By sefugi at 2010-07-25 By sefugi at 2010-07-25 By sefugi at 2010-07-25 By sefugi at 2010-07-25 Got the compressor running and mixing the paint. Time to shoot...

Welcome to SSA!!! Keep us informed on your system and what your doin' with it!

Looks Great! What are the showtimes and what's playin'?

Thanks! Reminds me of GroundHog Day!

Yep, It started out fun, but the fun has worn off. If we get through this weekend we can move on to some cool, fun stuff again.

Been a little while since the lst update. For the last week we have done nothing but wet sand. Yes sand, did not like the finished results of the blue on the car as compared to the body kit parts. We desided to wet sand the car and reshoot the blue before we move on to clearcoating. If you are checking out this post and are tired of seeing pictures of the paint progress just think about how tired we are of seeing it in person. My son commented the other nite-" I'll run wires, solder, anything, but I don't want to sand, tape or paint anymore!" That makes 2 of us. We are liking the results but the rode to get there is a tough one. Pics of the wet sanding....

They look Awesome! What amp do you have that you set up your design for? This might help those that are interested.

Looks Great!!! Good Kick-Start Dad!

Great!! Should be a cool project to work on!

Lookin' Good! Keep it up!

What about an xtra baffle? Maybe some bracing?

Airmail without the plane! That sucks, Good Luck to you on that! I know I would have been pissed!

Well done!! Great Score!!

"I have a SAE-1000D pushing my front components. I had the amp set to HPF and dialed the filter in to around 125 Hz"------- I have never used a Sae-1000, but I thought that amp was a mono-block sub amp?

Oh dang a Duran Meter, I'll take 2!!
