UPDATE: Almost all of the exterior work that I can do is done. I will soon be powdercoating my rotor wheels white and painting my center caps yellow and white. The mirror heads, hatch hinges, sunroof drain vents, door handles, door locks, front and rear flying M badges, headlight trim, and wiper arms are or will be painted white. I will have updated pics soon. Also, I am very pleased with how the DSM hood bump looks on the car. That with the front bumper gives it a very aggressive look in my eyes without getting into overkill territory.

Now I just need to find some eclipse fog lights and a front license plate bracket (along with installing side skirts and rear bumper). The list of projects just keeps going.....

All put together (mostly)

Here it is people. I took the pics soon after a rain (and hail) storm. Seems like the paint handled it pretty good.

Honestly i do not like the front bumper...it doesn't go with the lines of the car. But you did not do a bad job AT ALL painting her. Good job!

blonde hair and blue eyes!?.....Damn!!! J/K. try wwet sanding w/ 1200 wasted sandpaper then with 1500. Then hit with the ruff cut compound w/ a mophead pad. Then after you buff it out that it shines then come back with the black pad and swirl eliminator, buff again real good...It should bling like the sun after you do that. to re sand the whole car then shoot again another coat of clear is time consuming, tricky , and not cheap. you would have to sand, re tape, rent booth, buy clear, then shoot, and if you slick it out too much you stand to chance runs. good luck and great look.-Erik

Looking good, interesting combo you have going there. Nice to see you did the work yourself. I just recently finished my own project car, which I painted myself. It had lots of orange peel and runs, but lots of wet sanding and polishing later it shines like a new (sort of) car. I attached a pic if anyone cares. start with 1000 grit, then 1500 and finish with 2000 then use finishing compund with a high speed buffer. Sanding the whole car will take quite a while but its worth it. good luck

Hey Sean, that car looks badass man! I should have you come paint mine!

Good job to you too IanS, I really really like yellow cars, so you got me with a soft spot there, lol. I like the front bumper too, nice and original. Keep up the good work! Oh, and can we get a pic of the wheels?

The wheels arent done yet. The previous owners liked to paint so there is ~10 coats of paint that I have to sandblast off and a whole bunch of dirt also. It takes me about 2 hours each wheel. I have 2 done completely and 2 more that I havent touched yet. Also waiting to get new tires to put on the wheels once they get done, so I am stuck with the SA waffles for the time being. I have more pics but cant seem to get them under 100K.

I would have to agree with Marcello on this one.

But I reall do like the silver/white accents. It really makes the yellow look good.
