its in the details
ok i finished the painting of the trim. just a heads up, in some of the pics, it looks like when i took the tape off, it looks like i took paint off. but i didnt. its just the glue from the tape. so i can say, the final product looks better in person than in these photos. also my car needs a paint job. especially on the roof, and the big scrape on the hood. ON to the pictures!
the problem area:
problem area fixed:
here is the whole car prepped:
windsheild wiper before:
and wipers after:
drivers side:
passenger side:
and the whole shot:
for as much work that i put into prep. prolly about an hour or so over 2 days, it only took about 1 1/2 minutes to carefully rip off all the newspaper. lol. its like months dating a girl, waiting anxiously, trying to get into her pants for that 2 minutes of joy. i mean countless hours of joy. lol
also i was wondering if anyone here has deleted the drip panel? i bet with the drip panel removed, it will give that extra sexy look that no one can tell, until told.(try saying that 3 times fast. lol)
