A little TLC! (no 56k!)

So i FINALLY have some time to give the G some much deserved love and attention Decided to wet sand my lights and redo my grill today started a little late, was actually hoping to wash my car (with my new Zaino kit ) as well but that will have to wait until tomorrow But a good start to the amount of work i have planned for this week! Here are some beginning shots, enjoy

She needs a bath!





After Wet Sanding



Halfway through the Polish (my drill died so thats why the half way point lol)




Finish Product




Will post more daylight pics tomorrow

Pre-Painting!


^Nasty Chips!

My Make Shift $1 Paint booth



Time to paint! Sanded it down first, then 3 coats of primer with sanding between coats, 4-5 thin coats of black and 3 coats of clear to finish!

Borrowed the GF's Blowdryer to make sure there were no bubbles


Final Product!




Thanks for looking! will update tomorrow after her bath!
And one more just for fun of my James Bond compartment and future sale thread ...

If you need help with the lights let me know! as far as pads, those will be done this week along with my SS lines and new Motul fluid then a tranny, diff, and coolant flush, followed by new spark plugs, wires, and a new K&N Filter going to me a busy week for sure!

I am a firm believer of Plast-X (its acually my final polish for the lights) but to get it really clean, you need to wet sand to remove all the oxidation IMHO

plast-x worked well on my 35 but it only lasted a week or 2.
