not too sure yet March might be kinda soon, still need to finish the bottom of the hatch close up the holes from the exhaust and hopefully do the trailer

still need to sand and a few more coats of white then sand again then clear

looks good. whats the process for spraying? did you use a diff tip on the gun for the thicker gel?

82daytona · « **Reply #30 on:** February 06, 2012, 01:12:14 PM »

I found someone to spray it for me at my shop. Nothing special was used just a normal gravity fed gun. Hes now done with the first few coats theyre good and hard, so some more sanding tomorrow to flatten it all out then more white sand that to 400 ish then the clear then color sand and buff

Now looks like a good time to cut the hole for the new intake housing

Looking good, hope to see it out this season.
