Check it out guys.



PLEASE for the love of CRAP check out my photo albums cause I have a crapload of pictures of this stuff including sandblasting the engine bay, then the black primer, then the final super gloss black polyurethane paint.



Heres a teaser.

Go into some details for us. Looks 1000x better.

I just resprayed my black t2 under the hood with a spray can, and while it does look good, its not shiny like that.. I think I need to buy some real paint.. How much did the paint run you?

It was sandblasted, then sanded with 400 grit. Primed with black urethane primer then super gloss black polyurethane black on top. It's aircraft grade paint. We use it on trailers at work (because you can hit the paint with chains and binders to tie down loads and the paint wont chip off so easy), so I managed to use some left over black that me and Dan mixed up to spray.



We used a big huge air compressor and dan sprayed it for me. I don't know who remembers but I was whining about missing my guitar I gave to Dan if he would use his skill to paint my car.



I'll post more pics.
