Moving my thread over... Sin City e36

Sneak preview:

Got the front bumper all the way through the process... This photo is only with one coat of clear on the front bumper. Two more coats of clear to go.... as well as a cut and buff for a MIRROR shine.

WOW! Sick work, love it so far! Aint NOTHING like fresh paint haha! Did you spray the part at home or in a booth?

[Dangerwillrbnsn]

Thanks gents! The car's being sprayed in the booth. A garage job would scare me, and I'm sure the HOA would have something to say.

Thought so. You're already planning on cutting and buffing after a booth aint job? When my car was resrayed all it needed was a quick machine polish..

I'll give it a few days to cook, but yes. There's PLENTY of clear on it to afford the cut. Maybe a polish would work, but I'm really wanting a mirror here so we'll go for the cut/buff just to make sure.

Yours looks first class though!

I hope it turns out nice! The color is Avus Blue Metallic. Although there is no actual metallic in it. It's all pearls from what my paint mix guy is saying. Here's a pic of an Avus that shows a pretty accurate color.

hey is your front bumper oem? if not how does it fit??

[Joe203]

Very sick lovin the color

[Dangerwillrbnsn]

Well, I have updates! Got the car sealed completely tonight... it's nice to finally be in one color again. That's the first time in 6 months.



After that, we laid down 3 coats of color, and 3 coats of clear.
Color coat 1


Skip ahead to clear coat 1


And skip ahead again to closeups of clear coat 3






The car will sit and bake overnight. Tomorrow if I have some time, I'll install the bumpers and let it sit another day or two. Then it's time to wetsand/cut/buff. For now, it looks AWESOME... but will become a mirror very soon.

Stay tuned friends!
