midnight blue
keep it black
That's the only way to do it right. I've painted a lot of small things in front of my garage and not even 2 min after I finish there's a bug or something else stuck to it (it"s like there attracted). That paint look BOMB!!!,Originally Posted by oldschool3g
i will be painting it outside but making a paintbooth with fan filters and all that good stuff to make sure no dust or bugs gets in my projectit will look nice on the hatch. I think you should paint the whole hood the new color.

im impressed with the tape and masking job. Makeshift booths will work fine just hose down the floor and walls to keep the dust and dirt down. Bugs seem to have a death wish

These babies and a mirror are the only things left to prep and then its time for primer
Do you guys remember this. I was really hopping to put this on but still needs a bit of work but will definatly be going on after its all ready
Wasn't that bumper for sale?
I was going to ask what the reason was for prepping a stock bumper when you have the custom one you made..
Doing same colour bumpers or black?
yes it was but since my mold broke ive decided to keep the second one i have to make a new and better one out of that.
Good question roach. Well as i was taking the custom bumper down from collecting a year of dust i realized i never finished the cracks that it had..there not that bad but requires fiberglass and resin wich i need to get..not to mention i have to smooth it out perfect as you can see. so i decided to use the stock for now since it was in pretty perfect condition.
im thinking of coloring the bumpers but at the same time im not sure if black bumpers would look good. i know they look sex on a white hatchie though thats for sure
I don't think I made a thread when I rebuilt my engine after I had blown piston rings so here's a few pics of the rebuilt engine....only 4,000 miles on he..runs like new.
