keeping it matte black....oh brother..

 

So your gonna wet sand and reshoot the car again?

 

I'm going to put everything back on the car and see how it blends. If the orange peel is noticeable then I'm going to sand lightly and spray and fade it in to the rest of the car. The primer I used was really thick and created some orange peel.

 

I just finished looking through all 86 pages. Your work is great. Have you been learning as you go along or do you have prior automotive experience?

 

Some serious reading! ^ From the start I knew next to nothing about cars . I grew up on dirt bikes, but never got my hands into cars until I started this project. So no. no automotive experience at all really.

 

^ dang so what made u experiment on your g35? lol this isn't exactly a civic that u can leave with nasty panels lol either way you pulled it off and learned somehow

 

what?

 

Here we go no life....

First the paint was too orangy and the color didn't even get close to match.


So I threw on a heavy coat in the rear so I could sand it down and get it even.

Then the sanding started

Just an average day




Ended up pretty smooth . I have no clue what it will look like now after I coat the car. should be interesting

 

Rustoleum ftw....

Lol jk.... I tip my hat to doing a DIY paint job. First time you had done it when I saw it at the sedan gtg it looked awesome.

 

^rustoleum is pricey. I go with the eco grade stuff....

But thanks it was not in its prime .... paint has taken a ton of hits should look better soon I hope !

 

It forces you to learn. It worked perfect hahaha

 

nice progress
what exhaust do you have?

 

Some cheap test pipes 80$
coupe Y pipe and mid 50$
then the ebay muffler. 20$

my 150$ exhaust hahaha

Why a coupe Y pipe? It's the same as our sedan's unless you're talking g37 coupe
