Got my paint supplies From Automotive Touchup in today, as well as Krylon Fusion Gloss black from Walmart for the housing.

Left to Right:
Prep Solvent, adhesion promoter, sand able primer, base coat color (Monterey Blue), gloss clear coat, Krylon fusion (fusion=good on plastics) gloss black.

I also got a tack cloth which you can use to wipe dust from the painted surface if need be in between painting, and a "fine" scuff pad to get the surface of the plastic ready for paint, all from Automotive Touchup.

Also picked up some Meguiars Ultimate Compound to use on my lip kit, as well as a little plastic epoxy from Loctite for my carbon fiber piece above my license plate, which likes to come unglued from the bumper on the edges because the 3M isn't strong enough, bugs the hell out of me.

Just finished my lights and re-installed my front bumper at 3am in the morning after work (last night), drove down to Houston for a meet with a bunch of local Z's today at the woodlands C&C and had a ton of fun. We went on a long cruise afterwards then ate lunch, then headed back up here to Dallas.

Looks awesome

Sorry I didnt get to meet you at the woodlands c&c. I usually never go because of church and they go on cruises afterwards which is too much time to be away from the family responsibilities in a 2 seater. Headlights look great btw, post some closeups!

Flushnismo · 02-04-2013, 09:22 PM

Now it looks complete

No worries, we decided to head home after the cruise, it was a long drive and we knew if we left after the Super Bowl BBQ we wouldn't get home till the morning hours, and we were all pretty tired. We'll meet at another event I'm sure.

Thanks Jacob, really appreciate all your advice and info on the process, as well as VDC's input and many others, can't thank you guys enough!

I'm just glad they're finally done, and that I did them myself as well..... this is an extremely rewarding modification, as you guys already know, night and day difference!

I'll take it out for photos soon now that they're done and get them posted here

Thanks Blake, can't wait to see how yours turn out! That automotive Touchup paint is spot on, you won't be disappointed.

PICTURE UPDATE!!!

Dallaz · 02-05-2013, 03:44 PM

The lights turned out awesome! I should have the last video of my DIY up today as well in the DIY section on how to take them apart and the baking process as well for the guys who haven't done this yet and are skeptical about doing it themselves.

The next few things I plan on doing are repainting my front emblem because its starting to get chipped up after a year-year & 1/2, and I would still like to get my wheels repainted gloss black with a paint matched pinstripe around the edge.

I'd also like to get a mines wing add on or replica to add a little on the backside.

as for performance, Iv'e still only got fast intentions exhaust with 18" resonators and don't plan on doing anything else unless I boost it which would be another year from now most likely after buying the Subaru. We also just spent some money on the Camaro, getting a brembo brake upgrade for it and having the calipers paint matched to the Synergy Green Metallic color, can't wait for that to be on the car.
