Why don't you stop being a d1ck to those people who are actually trying to help you out. It's always better to be a little cautious and aware of what possible difficulties you might encounter while working on a project like this. Going in acting like Superman and thinking nothing can possibly go wrong is a terrible idea. No one has a bad attitude saying that we can't do it. We're just trying to be cautious to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Make sure you guys have extra sealant. Every DIY I've done seems to have me running out of supplies. Its even worse when it's something you can't just run to the store and buy.

Extra supplies are nice. Yesterday wasn't your fault though, you just estimated a little short

Yeah I had a feeling it would be close, but they didn't have any more of that paint at AutoZone at the time. I'm thinking that when I sand them again to refinish, I might go over it with a bit of a darker color and then more clear on top. Maybe like one light and one medium coat of the new color and then clear.

Its not even that, all Im hearing from a couple people is, Im not gonna do it, I dont wanna fvck it up, and yall are gonna fvck it up..its not happening bro, and Im not claiming to be superman, confident yes, superman no. There's a difference.

I've done my homework on it, and I feel like I can do it. I must have missed the people helping you out posts, because really I havent seen it. Oh wait, the people you're talking about would be Khoi, & Falcon, and their input is greatly appreciated. Sorry, if I missed a couple others.

See there you go again! You know what, I'm tired of dealing with your BS dude. I think I will just stay at home and let you guys have fun with this. If it turns out good I mighty try it on my own. Good luck :tiphat:

I thought someone else was in charge of paint but I can go get my own. I want semi-gloss black though. I can pick it up from Lowes right?

Eh. I think everyone should take a deep breath and relax. This is as much about hanging out/having a few beers/eating wings as it is ******* around with headlights.
I think you should come regardless. There will be tons of food etc.

Yeah, Im gonna have to pick up my own too, its ok, its only a few dollars anyways. I'll be going with the semi glass black. Krylon Fusion I believe it is. You can get it at Walmart, Advance Auto Parts, and maybe Autozone.
