[87roach]

Great progress pictures! How much louder did it get?

[mkymonkey]

well i havent driven the car yet. no exhaust i can drive it but only in my parking lot...i cant take it on the streets because OPD is directly accross from my shop lmao

the rest of of the car is getting the same treatment...the floor that is

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Didn't know you got new wheels... looks good though, and ahahah @ cheese... nice work man lol. Looks like a good time.

[coope]

that was alot of fuckin burgers maing dame

[mkymonkey]

yeah it was fun...cold as hell but fun...heres a vid of how we took the sound deadning stuff off...for those that dont know..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTQkpeuFjsM

the ice helped ALOT! its better than using a heat gun

[oldschool3g]

wow man looks great! way better than before:)

[2drSE-i]

cheese i must nominate you for "Most Mexican Hoodie on Earth"
:kekeke:

great work fellas

[86nlife2go]

ha ha, I second the most mexican hoodie nomination, trunk looks good

[MessyHonda]

that looks good,...i just took off my trunk panels....time to get your rear sturt bar in

[lostforawhile]

hahaha cheese lives up to him name,hmmmm who have we seen use dry ice to remove sound deadning before? someone needs to photochop something with the cheese in the seat asleep pic.

[BITESIZE]

11 cheeseburgers, you're going to have a heartattack.

[mkymonkey]

that looks good,...i just took off my trunk panels....time to get your rear sturt bar in

the "i" bolts dont reach :( otherwise it would have been on already

[86ccord]

thats great.. wow 50 cheeseburgers? looks good tho! and have fun digesting all of that :D

[2ndGenGuy]

Trunk looking good! I like the idea of the undercoat in there to ward off the moisture. Will be interesting if that stuff does any sound deadening on it's own.

Cheese definitely has lived up to his name. That's a lot of money to spend on cheeseburgers holy crap! We used to do that in high school during the McDonald's $0.29 hamburger and $0.39 cheeseburger deals. The had a 10 burger limit, so we'd send 5 or 6 cars through the drive through in one lunch break. :)

[mushroom_toy]

Nice only problem with that spray in stuff is I did my whole floorboard in it and under the rear seat/trunk etc, It comes off really easy.Even at 4 coats thick.

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks great man i did that to my trunk along time ago i still gotta do the interior

[knarg]

ahhahah awesome, where are those burgers from!?

oh and john i totally remember the mcdonalds deal! that was so awesome hahaha

[mkymonkey]

Nice only problem with that spray in stuff is I did my whole floorboard in it and under the rear seat/trunk etc, It comes off really easy.Even at 4 coats thick.

depends on prep work. ive dont it multiple times of my tow trucks. if you JUST spray it on it doesnt adhere well. if you use primer it sucks as well. the best bet it to score the surfuace clean it really well with soap and water let it dry and spray away.

lier lol


ahhahah awesome, where are those burgers from!?

believe me we all got the side effects lol

cheese got depression because he gained 5 pounds lol
pete got a bad case of exploding diarhea
the other guy puked before he left lol
and i just felt horrible, lazy and sleepy all day today. i parked my tow truck and took a 4 hour nap lol

[2drSE-i]

haha lazy ass. I guess thats what happens when your the boss huh?

[mkymonkey]

haha lazy ass. I guess thats what happens when your the boss huh?

well yeah but i didnt really want to sleep for 4 hours lol. i guess everyone else was busy and forgot to wake me up

[carotman]

Oh boy, eating the burgers was tougher than the actual undercoat job I'm sure!

[mkymonkey]

lol...actually the hardest part was getting all the silicone off with the grinder :( my batts kept dying

[Cheeseburger]

eating the burgers were hard tho lol... im still hurting! argh!

[mushroom_toy]

After I chiseled all of mine out, I used 150-300 grit paper, then washed and alcohol prepped to remove fingerprints, then sprayed four coats.

[A18A]

hey thats cool

[mkymonkey]

After I chiseled all of mine out, I used 150-300 grit paper, then washed and alcohol prepped to remove fingerprints, then sprayed four coats.

how long did you let it dry before each coat? i really have never had any problems with it. the tow truck gets a lot of wear and its only chipped a few times in about 2 years. i have been using this paint for a while...which one did you use?

[mushroom_toy]

2 hours between each coat. Also I used the exact same stuff you had.

[BITESIZE]

So what's the point in painting that, you never see it? :)

[mkymonkey]

well in my case you would. i dont have a floor, or carpet in the rear seats. spare is taken out so on and so forth

[AccordEpicenter]

so you lost 16lb from the trunk and back seat sound insulation?

[BITESIZE]

well in my case you would. i dont have a floor, or carpet in the rear seats. spare is taken out so on and so forth

But it's all going back in though, right?

[gp02a0083]

depends on prep work. if you use primer it sucks as well. the best bet it to score the surface clean it really well with soap and water let it dry and spray away.

yup that will do it , or even prep-sol or acetone might help (acetone might make anything else thats left a bit gummy) personally for interior work like that i use Norton scuff pads they are really abrasive and they scuff really well, any paint will stick as mky allready knows, anything with paint prep work is the key

nice job mky , just make sure you let that stuff dry completely or it'll stay tacky for a long time

wonder how much weight comes off of the hatchies wehn the trunk area is done

[carotman]

so you lost 16lb from the trunk and back seat sound insulation?

... and gained the same from eating the burgers hahaha.

[mkymonkey]

lol yeah according to my scale its 16 pounds and yes i zero'd out the scale when i put the trash bin on. so its not counting the trash can. lol.

[mkymonkey]

But it's all going back in though, right?


no :welcome::cheers:

[AccordEpicenter]
