Got some more stuff done. I put some runs in the sealer on the front bumper so I left it alone so I could sand on it tomorrow and then paint it by itself. Soon I will start sanding/buffing the car so then the misc pieces can be installed such as belt moldings, etc.
Here's pics. The pics of the fornt bumper are of the runs in the sealer but you cant really see them in the pics.

Started sanding on the car today as I wasnt able to get into the booth. Tomorrow I should be able to get in there and paint the front bumper. Next week I should be able to squeeze in again for the back bumper and then everything that needed painted will be painted.
Also decided to paint the bumper off the car as it would make it much easier. Im sure that the stress cracks on the sides will appear when I install it but in reality they probably would have shown up on the first highway drive (which is taking it home) anyways so whatever lol.
I will have pics once the bumper is painted and also will show updates as the sanding/buffing progresses.

School has been back in full swing since Monday. I finally got some time to get into the booth and spray all the misc pieces black. Granted, most of the parts wont be installed until last but at least they are done and ready to go when the rest is. I will install the cowl panel, wiper arms and blades, and those grill things that the sunroof drains out of in the rear (under hatch).
More updates to come soon. I plan on either spraying the bottom of the hood or spraying the rest of the rocker guard on the bodykit pieces. Most likely will do the underside of hood. I'll have pics as it happens.
