100 GRIT sounds rough, seems like you mustve went really really light with it tho. i wouldve gone with 400 at least

 

installed pics arent working???

 

Wow, looks really good Mike. great work

 

Im trying something similar to what Mike has done...

Question tho, after giving substantial time for the clear to dry, about 5 days, I tried wetsanding with 2000grit... I basically took off the clear, down to a dull, no gloss finish. I tried using Maguires (auto wax) to buff it out, but no dice.

What exactly do you recommend (Z1) for a "hand polish" to turn the dull, into a nice gloss after the sand?

Thanks in Advance!

You need to use a pure polishing compound, use that, and then a glaze on top

Wax won't do it - all wax essentially does it form a barrier against the elements

 

Dayum Leemik!!! I was afraid to scroll down to look at the pics thinking it might look like sheit, but I shoulda known you'd pull it off, HOT!!!!

 

Thanks alot man! Back to AutoZone!

thats nice man!!! so is ur trunk area! lol.

 

thanks guys.. I still didn't wet sand it yet.. lazy..I'll get around to it maybe this weekend... I did paint the ring around the sub with the same stuff though.. I think it pulls everything together better

(I labeled stuff so my PM's don't fill up again)


sorry man.. i thought you knew to use polishing compound.. not wax.. well wax afterwards..

 

where did you get that arc harness bar? it looks almost "sinister"

yeah the sub ring looks great with it.

 

if your looking for other things to paint you can do like i did when i painted my engine cover......i now have blue speakers for my computer, and my 2 guitar hero guitars are blue also :-p

 

Mike,
man everything you do to your car always seems to amaze me. looks awesome, great idea. btw where did you get your red carpet for the back?

 

search google for "lloyd's trunk mat" .. They make custom mats for all makes and model cars.. I chose just just a plain red and it seemed to go nice with the seats.. The carpet is much thicker and durable than the stock one..

 

heres a blast from the past

 

thats sexy! Everyone's right only leemik could make that look right.

 

Looks nice man...well done

 

i know what im doin this weekend. back of my frp buckets..mmm
