well yeah, I didn't think of it either.



I was a pig and painted the plastics part of the wells also, but I did mask off the fasteners and bolt heads though and I had to use tape on them. I swear that foil is handy, I try too use it too much.

Do it before the fenders are on, that why the whole inner structure can be protected. Plus while the feners are off paint the top structure gloss black to match the engine bay and make a professional looking transition

wow, that looks great. protection is always key, i love seeing a clean 2nd gen. becoming harder to find day by day though...



and the aluminum foil is a great idea, now i have another tool in my masking arsenal, lol



just a quick question, could you give some more info on the "dtr epoxy" you mentioned?



thanks

I don't know whether you have waxoyl over there, but it's great stuff for areas like that.

yup, you may be right. just when looking at FCs for sale it's hard to find a nice clean one...and when there is, you have to pay $$$.



although it could be because i live in Canada, lol
