Painted My Rear-End (pics)

[bam2012@TBR]

Damn, nice work. I think I will paint mine with a brush.

It was easier to drap plastic over the top of the whole car and make it long enough to wrap underneath the car. Sprayed with the suspension loaded to hit some areas and unloaded to get to the top. Def some weird angles I had to get at to get to the top like inside the wheel wells and above the PHB.

If I was doing suspension then I would of pulled the rear. It didn't take too long for the masking.

I have a 14 and the rear is rusty as shit. I think it sat in a flood or something. I too will be pulling the rear and painting to improve the cars looks.
Your cars looks alot better painted

Looks great...I was pretty bummed when I looked under the car and saw that the axle was not painted...more so recently since my rear axle breather is leaking :/

What kinda time we talking from start to finish for this project!

por 15 adheres to surface rust so no prep and sanding and is brush on it is self leveling so no brush marks. just cover yourself cuz the stuff dont come off!

About 8 hours taking my time.

I wanted to use this stuff but it's a mess, I didn't want to brush anything on and I'm not too sure how accurate the "doesn't leave brush marks" is. Also you'd spend a little more going this route but most would say its negligible.

Overall I feel like por15 provides better protection but spraying is easier to me.

should have been neon green for all that work.
for reel ...I will probably be doing this. maybe chassis grey.

It is messy no doubt i did not have any problems with it smoothing out at all. If u think taping everything off is easier ..... knock yourself out! That just looks like alot.

It's a fun project if you have free time.

Appreciate ya. Engine bay already looks like this so I'm running out of things to do. Not quite ready for built motor yet but that's next.

Old pic. Been cleaned up since then.

Very nice OP! I have a Track Pack rear which was already painted, but it still doesn't look as good as yours. If I ever have to rebuild my rear end I will definitely pull it and repaint it the right way.

 

[FX4ALL]

Nice!

Hoping to do the same when I rebuild the rear.

 

[kona12]

nice job well done

 

[GHIG'13]

Will the contents of the por15 starter kit be enough to put three coats on the entire rear-end?

 

[haVesoV777]

Looks pretty good!!

Looks good, it should have came like that from the factory. I think I'd just drop out the axle rather than do all that masking.
