Body Kit Progress
 
Quote:

Just wanted to update you w/ the progress.. we already painted them today and finished w/ 1 layer of clear.. We're gonna shoot a 2nd layer tommorrow once the 1st layer dries tonight..






Yeehaw. Pick it up on Tuesday, will install soon thereafter. Need to get some grille mesh and install it where all the holes are, then figure out how to remove/install bumpers/side skirts. Yay!

it goes right over the old rockers (side skirts) good luck, looks great dude!

one question...........why are you or the painter doing it/ waiting to apply the 2nd coat tommorrow??? if this is PPG there is a 24 hour window without snading before another coat is applied, but usally the claer is applied at one time or are you going to sand the clear down and then re-apply the other 2 coats?? and then wet sand and buff??

[ion] C2 02-03-2008 07:03 PM

it's PPG, he knows about the window. put one layer of clear on today and one tomorrow then all the other crap. they've done body kits before and have a mini paint shop set up so i figured they know what they're doing *shrug*

[ion] C2 02-03-2008 10:54 PM

I dunno, I think it's like $800 after shipping.

I bought mine off FoosedGrandAm for $300 and picked it up myself.

Dam thats looking good so far....cant wait to see some installed pics...good job

[ion] C2 02-05-2008 02:32 PM

Got er back. Neither Lowes nor Home Depot sell mesh that's wide enough for the front bumper. So I'll have to hit up AutoZone and get their ridiculously priced grille mesh. Installing today.




Also got some more stuff in from UPS. :)
