+8 don't paint the mud flaps.

I wish you were closer to NorCal!

 

See this noob knows how to search

 

dont you have to put a coat of primer on then let it dry before putting a few coats of black paint on?

 

I'm going to

 

Looks good, I was about to tell you not to do that also.

 

hmm might be trying this soon.. already did my grill

 

.... hey Chris... don't paint the mudflaps!

 

well my rear diffuser is now drying. I think it turned out very good. Once it has fully dried I will take some pics of it and post it up

 

came out great

 

Here is my pic of it done

 

+9 dont paint mud flaps

 

LOL @ hawaii plate. how do you like hawaii (off topic) and did you just tape off your exhaust and stuff for the diffuser? i wanna do mine too just not take the bumper off

 

yeah just like the OP did, I didn't have a spare sheet/cloth so I used garbage bags. I have the large roll of blue painters tape and made to passes with them and then taped the garbage bags to the second row of blue tape. Then I wrapped 1 bag on each exhaust pipe. Sanded, primped and painted away. Hawaii is nice, been here for about 2.5 yrs. There's always something to do. Shipping stuff here sucks though. My wife misses Chicago though. She use to live off of Addison St. as a kid and then moved out of the city to a suburb up north called Wheeling/Buffalo Grove area.

 

sorry for bringin back this thread. didnt want to repost a new thread.

did you sand with the rear diffuser still attached? is it better to remove the diffuser (if you can) and then sand, and paint?

im trying to do this DIY. i am trying to get info.

thanks
