First Pic Thread, First attempt at body work

[BADD281]

So I've been on this site for a while now but never really posted anything. I recently decided to take a stab at my own body work and auto painting. I've tinted lights but never messed with the body. I picked up a used torch red bumper, side skirts from ford, and redfire side scoops off ebay. I ended up shaving the license plate holes, priming, and painting everything myself. Anyways onto pics from today:

The vinyl overlays work well and are very simple. Or you can paint them with nightshades.

Either way, it's all in the prep work.

Prep with 800 wet, spray however many coats of nite shades as you want, spray coat of clear, wet sand, another coat of clear, wet sand, and more clear. Then a few days later wet sand and buff til no orange peel left and looks like glass.

love oxford. looks badass dude. yeah tinted tails just go autobadges. good quality thick tint wont wrinkle and bend easy on and easy to line up.

I had overlay for a year. I couldn't stand the orange peel they showed on the lights so I ended up ripping them off and spraying them. Used about 5 coats of clear to leave plenty for wet sanding and polishing.

Nice job for a first timer. Looks like you been painting for years.

I am just finishing up my son's 91 GT. I hope I can stay away from painting for a few years, this job about killed me.
