they look really nice, about the nicest spray job I've seen. How long did it take you to grind them smooth?

i took my time. about 2 days to grind. (remember Mike i used to grind for a living for the big D in the composites shop; so my 90 grinder skills are high. lol!) 1 day on paint on front and 1 day paint on rear.
4 days total.

That came out really nice. I even like the bare polished metal.

Looks great!!

They look really good!!!

Good job sit back and enjoy this rep:excited:

Wow that looks awesome

Thanks everyone:-)

Big props. Repped

You know I can't tell you how many times I've seen you around. But I've always been behind you in the distance. LOL. The first time I saw your car was at Baby Jane's parking lot. I remember the tag.

thanks! what is baby janes? cant believe i didn't spot your Z

You win the bestest base brake award! :tup: GJ!

Babay Jane's is a restaurant right beside a chicken restaurant just off the square of of McDonough near 155

Gottcha. I'm hardly down that far south. Mostly around eagels landing and stockbridge. Ill keep an eye out for you. We should meet up sometime if there is a mountain run or something.

Thanks again!

Wow, they turned out great. If you were only in the area...I would paid to get that done. Cheaper than upgrading to the sport brakes.

What type of paint did you use? Primer?
