sorry no primer picks I forgot.
Here's a close up

Looks great, Will! I like it! I hope it holds up for you. Clear coat for FTW! I like Satin clear coat the best, for something that. It has a nice sheen, but it's not flat or glossy.

I think the spatter Grey paint looks good, take more pic's as you progress.

Kinda a dark picture.

Got it striped now I need some sound deading material.

I think it looks great, take some pic's when you get the plastic reinstalled in your car.

OK it's all dry, it is pretty slick and should be easily cleaned now!
But it's a little on the shinny side. I may try some flat clear. I don't know yet. It did make the gray a little darker but I like it better darker.
Here's a comparison

Update on the plastics. I was working on my rear wiper motor and moved the plastic I had just painted yesterday ,and I put a finger print of Greece on one piece.
I thought well this is the test, will it wipe off?
Not so well, this was my only concern with the texture of this stuff, it would be hard to clean.
So I cleaned it off and I just sprayed a small piece with clear coat.
This should make them slick and easy to wipe down.

I'll let you know how it looks and holds up after it dries.

Awesome find, I hope to see updates! I get 28mpg on a fully built B6T mixed driving for reference.

Thanks! I would like to be in the low 30's least I'm in the low 40s now i drive 118 miles a day round trip to work i know it sucks but i love my job.

Just got them done but they should not.
I sanded all the easy to scratch dead plastic.
Primed with plastic primer and painted I will let you know how it holds up. It has to be a thousand times better then the we're before.

Question, does it still scratch super easy like the panels in my car do now?

[william]

Little update I want to try to fix my rotted and sun faded rear interior panels they were really bad. I had an extra set the was just as bad so I figured I would paint the extra one I had.
So I went to Walmart looking for some paint. I decided to get some rustolem stone paint.
It looks like the old trunk spackle paint.
I got gray with black and cream spackel.
I also got some gray X2 primer.

I sanded the bad spots with 180 grit then washed with soap and scrubbed with a red scotch bright (320 grit)
Here's be four prime.

I'm posting from my phone so please bear with me!
But they turned out better than I ever thought they would.

[william]

Thanks guys it should be a good build.
I'm planning on swapping the b6d from my current car. Want boost but need mpg's lol.
I am trying to get over to the jy either today or tomorrow. There are no festivas but there is 1 aspire.
It's looking like it's going purple metallic.
(All ready have a half gallon from a previous job)

I installed a lighted lighter from a Mazda 626. I believe every car should have one. You never know when you might have to start a fire.

[drddan]

Good score, Will!

[Hot_Wheels]
