hey guys! just got back from the bday party

anyways recap of today, starting from 4pm and on

VERY impressed at the fact that all headlights were off and opened by 4pm
EW if you get condensation, I give up on baking headlights. You probably have half a tube of sealnat on your headlights, which probably transfered to your lens when installing. don't worry i got it all off:bowrofl::bowrofl:
for those needing smaller size shirts, until next meet. I can probably dig up some Larges, but mediums will be tough. We are designing a new shirt that should be out any day now advertising our triple fuel pump system for the GTR
blades, get with the program, if its a headlight day, do headlights, not take your wheels off at 8pm and spray clear on them hahah JK
Everyones headlights turned out amazing, DM your head lights were my favorite just because I'm a big fan of a completel black out. EW and MKG your guys headlights turned out amazing too
EW try applying some polishing compound to your one headlight, it shoudl remedy some of the scuffs Thanks Brother!
Pics will be up 1st thing monday morning, the pics accoridng to the camera turned out pretty awesome
Great meeting you guys, hope to do this again for the second round of headlights
For those that want to swing by the shop just give me a holler, i'm there 9-6 everyday and would love to give you guys mini tours

Dude, I really appreciate you guys coming out, we had an awesome time just laughing about the craziest sh1t... I wish yall woulda had a beer or two with us... that woulda topped off the night!:tup:

Hey I didn't have a 10 person team helping me out, which is why it took me forever. Also because I started late :p

Not sure if we could have even done another set of headlights though. Would have been pushing the limit in terms of time. I've decided to do my headlights black with gun metal shrouds. I hope they have Krylon Fusion in the color or something close. Otherwise I might have to use a different paint or just do it all black instead.

Also I had a good idea for our next mod party: painting the door handles. It's something most of us don't have and doesn't seem too hard to do. Also not as much risk as the headlights. What do you guys think?

Also, I appreciate you and Dan coming out to help us after work. Thanks again for the shirts too :tup:

Painting door handles? hmmmm. Kinda hard. Why? You ask... If you want it to look good, you'll have to buy your car's real paint according to your car's paint code. You'll have to shoot real primer & that car's paint.

There's a couple other things you'll need, and i forget what they are. The door handles are not metal, they're plastic, and paint needs a special promoter/applicator to make it stick.

In essence the stages would be...
prep (promoter)
wet sand then primer
paint
clear
wet sand (2000 grit)

And if you want this to look sharp, you cant do it out of a can, its gotta be through a REAL paint gun.

Hey blades, thanks for posting up those pics, I just got to see them, im finally home from work.. Im about to fall asleep for the next 2 days...:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Yeah I would not recommend doing this yourselves. I paid $160 to get both done and it was well worth it. Also bear in mind that if you don't have brand spanking new paint on the car, you're going to need to blend in order to get it to match the rest of the vehicle.

Oh you're missing the "bake" step too for the handles.

There's a gunmetal-ish color. I don't think it's called that though.

Edit: That coffin wing made for a really...unpleasant morning.

So next saturday I'm only going to crack open my right headlight to fix the nicks on it. The other one I'm going to pull out just to reseal but shouldn't take much time at all.

would not recommend a rattle can job on the door handles. WILL NOT look good haha
