Just got done dry sanding the first coat (even though it wasnt a full forst coat lol) i have the car all day saturday and sunday so maybe ill shoot the second coat, and buff it out with wax, well i think thats the correct way to do it..

[Roboskittle]

Dont put wax on it if you are planning on more than 2 coats.

[MTec007]

i think 2 coats will be okay.. i hope.. but i wont know till i get that wax on there..

[Roboskittle]

I would go 3 coats minimum if I were you.

[MTec007]

if thats what it will take to look good, i guess thats what i will do

[Roboskittle]

When you buff it out you are gonna lose some of the paint and you dont need to burn through.

[MTec007]

i dont have access to a real buffer, im going to be doing it by hand

I just thought i would add these pictures..

this one could have been real bad, but i nipped it in the bud.(spelling?)


and thanks to the wheel bearing lock up, i lost a perfectly good tire:

[big_ty2003]

I have four 12'' tires and the space saver spare if you need them.

[MTec007]

i already bought 2 brand new ones, and in a few weeks ill get the other two, but thank you cheapest i could find was 49/ea, but next round will be 60/ea because the prices went up lol

Burnout tires.

[MTec007]

My festiva doesnt burn out. even on a wet road the front tires just bounce.. the tires are already gone, replaced with new ones

[MTec007]

does any one know what size bolts i need to replace ALL the ones on the heat sheild?

this one at the bottom is seized


and where can i get a replacement for this hose doohickey?


any ideas on these size bolts too? the are pretty much non-existent, i will have to drill them out, they connect some metal pipe to the exhaust down pipe


also.. is there supposed to be anything here? looks like a bolt, but what size?

The hose is a hot air rise tube, any auto parts store will have them. Just measure the diameter so you know which one to get. It's only a few bucks.

thank you
