How much time have you put into sanding it so far?
|
O man, I kinda feel like an idiot. I saw "UIM Project" and thought you were porting yours like I did mine. (See picture below) Looks good though. I'm gonna do mine in an anodized blue to match my exterior when I get her painted.

ill most likely do a test run underneath the crossover pipe... usin the high temp eastwood clear.. hopin it wont discolor or place a haze after goin through a heat cycle... |
I'll save you the hassle.
The Y pipe here has been cleared with the diamond clear that Eastwood sells. It does haze a bit. Also it yellows slightly over time. If it gets oil on it , it will yellow badly. |
