yea whenever i've sprayed anything on cardboard, the end that touches the cardboard is f'ed up

 

Well, it started bad, went ok, then ended BAD!

I sprayed the first bezel on the box, no issue in regards to the box, but I did get some strange over spray pellets or whatever on the flat area near where the headlight opening is. So I tried "baking it" to smooth it out. That didn't change anything, so I sprayed 1 more coat and threw it right in the over to try again. That has now bubble ALL of it. Guess I'm going to have to sand it down and start all over. I never have great luck when it comes to painting stuff. But try and try again, not going to give up. But I will need another can of paint.

 

Here's the texture I am talking about. Thinking about picking up some paint stripper instead of just sanding it down.

 

hah, that actually looks pretty cool.

 

If it was more even, I would likely keep it, but it's too blotchy. Not happy at all. Going to sand the replacement one in a bit and try to get them both coated this afternoon. I tried the bag over my hand method and liked that so I will likely do that when I spray them.

 

Too much of a hurry. the tiny bubbles says the first coat was not dry . Never use paint stripper on plastic .I would try a gas wipe now,then lit it dry for a day or two then lots of sanding..

 

bag over hand method?

 

^^^^^This. I have heard of it before. Seemed to work when I applied the last coat.

 

I agree I rushed it, but my coats were good until the last one. The reason for trying to bake it was weird overspray, not actual bubbles from not letting it dry. But I think if I hold it while spraying I should get much better results.

What you see in those pictures is 90% from baking, probably baked it too long. But I will see what some sanding does and go from there.

 

woo, got my sway bar links in today, time to go get them installed

no more driving with only one link lol, I didnt drive much after the link broke anyways though lol

 

those are beautiful!

 

:') yes, yes they are lol, but quick stupid question...the longer end goes up top correct? thats how the other links are

 

part with the silver sleeve whould go through the spindle, and the end with the cone shaped misalignment spacer should go to the sway bar. flip the little cone spacers around though. you have them on backwards in that picture

should look like the picture on their site

 

C"17" You really fucked him up now....5.00$ says this will not go well

 

it's just how i roll

 

Anyone happen to have a drivers side headlight laying around? Preferably messed up and not good enough to use that I can get the bezel out of? The one I painted earlier is not doing well with trying to get that paint off, guessing that baking it made it super solid.

 

i think you own Colin $5 now

those metal spacers, thats just how they came in the box, so i just flipped em around and installed them went really well and easy, just cus im not very into fixing vehicles as of yet, doesnt mean I cant figure things out and find out how there supposed to be

 

when exactly do you need it? was thinkin about buying a new set of halo projector headlights this next payday, then id have mine layin around, but thats not for another couple of days though

was thinking of getting my wheel spacers before the lights, but if youre in need of some headlights, I can get the new headlights first and you can have mine

 

Any other iPhone users not planning to get IOS7?

I'm still trying to figure out who the hell thought that everyone with an iPhone wants to be forced into a pastel purple pink and blue color scheme.

 

When ever is good. My bumper won't be here for another 2 weeks or so. All I need is the bezel inside. If you aren't going to use it, let me know how much you want for it. Thanks!
