You'll definitely need the buffer after the sandpaper..

Damn, I started sanding, that **** takes forever, but I have time to kill, so I will do it till I have it all done in 1200 grit, then polish that sucka till it blinds me.. Unless someone wants to sell me an already polished FD intake..

It wasnt to bad. I stretched it out over two days. about 1 1/2 hour total.

I only had to rebuff, clean and spray it.

Is that clear coat resistant to heat? LIM is pretty close to downpipe for some of us. I'm thinking I may go the polished finish ceramic coating on the intake manifold pieces.

nice work.. i'm glad you tried the clear coat.. looks great

Fd3BOOST 02-25-2003 03:22 PM
