Who you calling solid?

lol. I should have the headlights in the next month. I was told by October 99.9% chance.

Chicoloco does em in his spare time, so, i'm not rushing him.

Plus, he's going to make teh projector fogs look as close to the projector headlights as possible.

I hear you man, thats cool though, thats not too far away. Ever since you showed me them pics and stuff, I can't wait to see all the projectors installed, SWEET.

When is that car getting painted bro?

I'm gonna guess next weekend or the weekend after. Not too sure yet.

Center caps? We don't need no stink'ng center caps

 

[Crazee D]

Thanks guys!
It was black or white Powdercoat and the gloss white is blingin'!
I haven't painted the center caps yet but i am thinking about doing the M in black

 

[xDJ DUBx]

How'd you paint your wheels?

I'm thinking of painting my stocks

 

[mx-p5]

lol I know that but define Powder coating, like how to.

 

[mx-p5]

Like, take it to a paint shop, they chemically strip the wheels, then powdercoat them. Google mang!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I was too lazy. hahaha

@ DJ DUB, I see the blue calipers, I like. I was thinking the same thing. I haven't done anything to my White Protege yet, but I'm saving for it!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Thank you thank you. It doesn't cost that much, I just bought some blue caliper paint for like 7 bucks.

 

[blueamcat]

Really? Awesome. I really want to get this started but I don't have anything at my house to do so. I'm renting, so I'd have to bring my car to my dad's garage. Did you leave it for a few days before driving again?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

lol nope.

The story is one afternoon on my lunch break, I went to auto zone and picked up the paint. After work I put my car on the lift and painted the front, let it dry for about 45 min. The next morning at work I put it on the lift again and did the back, I let it fry for about an hour or so and drove it same day.

 

[blueamcat]

Nice. That works. So did you leave em on the car then? Just took the wheels off?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

yup. I covered everything I didn't want painted with a big piece of cloth. The back is easy this way but the front is a little more tricky.
