Wait isn't that that a VW event? Might be a cool, but really depends on what type of crowd shows up. Have you ever been?

If you are going to go to a show that weekend though, the one to go to is the Carlisi event at NJMP. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...hread-1009152/

I copy and pasted this from my facebook. One of my close friends invited me to this event which is the same weekend of H2O. If anyone is not going to Ocean City then you should def join me out here.

11:00am until 5:00pm.. Nu Conceptz and SpecOneSociety are Hosting a Car Show together on the 30 of September 2012 at 11:00AM. We know its less than a month away but it is plenty of time for everyone to join us!

Velocity 5 in Centreville has given us the thumbs up to use their parking lot to host this event, along with food and drink specials.

We feel this is a great time to host an event, because not only is the weather going to cool down, but the NFL Season will have just started!! This gives you two very good reasons to tel...l
your significant other to come out on a sunday.

Live Music by: Dj Korupt

We will have 4 categories available in the show:

Best in Show
Best Import
Best Domestic

and lastly, everyone's favorite..... Best Stance!

Register (FREE) at event host table at beginning of the event and pick up your voting ballads. All Ballads must submitted for tally by 3:45pm. Winners will be anounced at 4:30pm.

Parking is Free, if you want to have your crew to have designated spots it will be in your best interest for your crews to show up early so that it'll be much easier for you to be together.

Other than that feel free to park anywhere. :]

Additional information will be posted up by the end of the week.

Matt you already know my affinity for flat black primer. So of course I love this! looks like you learned a few things since last time. How'd the rear passenger quarter panel turn out? Also, are you going to update the wheels any?

I did a bunch of fixing dents and dings and tried to clean up that rear quarter. It's still not factory perfect but think it turned out a lot better than before:









I think I may redo the wheels in bronze or gunmetal to go with the matte black. BTW, it's not primer -- it's not even paint!

Did you "dip" the car without putting any paint on the repair areas?

I might have to borrow your spray gun, Matt. I was thinking about doing my FC in orange, purple, or yellow when it's done. Did it spray pretty easily? It looks nice from the pics.

HAHAHAHAHA that is awesome, I've used Plasti-Dip before but never in this way. I can't wait to see how it weathers.


Nice body work and wing delete too

The repair areas are all fully primered and wet sanded. I didn't spray dip on any bare metal or body filler directly.

Sure, the sprayer that comes with the kit is super easy to use compared to a regular HVLP gun. I have a few areas I want to clean up (the great thing about this stuff is you can repair cuts, tears, surface texture, etc with just a gloved finger and some paint thinner) and I want to respray the tail light housings and just peel the lens area for a more complete effect. I watched all the tutorial videos on youtube to get a handle on the proper technique before starting.

They thin it out for you so it's ready to spray. Just point and shoot! I removed the wing to spray the rear deck and did the wing separately. It's all back together now. I thought about deleting it and removing the rear wiper too. Maybe next time. Already thinking of matte white or some crazy color. With all the prep work already done, it's a 2-3 hour project to do an entire car.

Yeah, now you can change paint colors on a whim. How much does it cost you for the material to do a full coat?


Also, I need to start planning the Fall road trip (Casey reminded me about it, thanks ) . Does everyone want to coincide with the MIR Imports v Domestics again? Or should we do it on a different weekend?
