    Wow, nice build man. I love the wheels too! I want to get a set of those. I'll have to run them on a different EF though so I'm not copying you. Sweet job on the DIY paint job too, looks awesome.

    The whole thing is spray painted. I think I didn't let it dry long enough. And when I sprayed the clear it pulled up the wet paint from underneath. I'm going to let this dry all week and then clear it this weekend
  • Those wheels are looking good!

    That looks like lifting from under the paint. Before you sprayed the paint did you use some kind of wax/grease remover to remove any foreign contaminants? Also how cold is it where you're painting? If its below 60 then you really have to give it lots of time to dry. try to get some portable heaters in there or something.
  • Yes sir I used a degreaser and a primer temps about 75-80 degrees yea still hot down south. I sanded it all down and started over. I'm going to wait till this weekend to clear it, give it extra time to dry. My wife will be enduced on Monday so I guess the car won't be done before she gets here.
  • Rolled her out today to sweep out the garage and do the clear tomorrow. Ill also try to get it over to the exhaust shop before the weekend.

  • Thanks guys!! She's amazing I love her so much but I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. Long night lol all good tho. Car has been wet sanded down to 1000 grit just needs one more sanding and polished and buffed out. This has to be the longest paint job I have ever heard of lol. I hate to say it but it should be on the road by next month.
  • awesome! cant wait for some pictures of it finally finished!
  • I know man me too lol I see it everyday when I open the garage lookin sad like it needs attention lmao. I just need a whole day to buff it out... AND then 4 hours to wax the entire thing. I still think the car could be painted it this extent over a weekend but you have to be committed. I just don't have that time just a couple hours here and there.
  • I have this pic on my Instagram. Amazing how far it's came
