I painted the side panels a year ago and put a couple of clear coats on to bring out the shine and protect it a little better. Still looks good today.

I think you did a great job!

AZ200cc · 04-29-2009, 12:22 AM

Thanks Cal

I thought about clearing it also, But the store had none so I will see how this goes, I think it will be ok, I worked in a body shop for a couple years ANd i did everything I was taught there so I have my fingers crossed

but that's metal this newfangled plastic is a whole nutha ballgame

Lets see those panels cal, Got me curious

Cal25 · 04-29-2009, 09:49 AM

These are older pics but they still look pretty good.

Before:

and after:

The clear coat brought out the shine. I did not find a clear coat for the Fusion paint, just used a regular clear coat.

My experience with paint tells me that its the preparation that makes the biggest difference. I'm sure your gonna be happy with your job.

AZ200cc · 04-29-2009, 12:08 PM

Well one thing is for sure, One drop of gas...ANd I mean one teeny tiny lil itsty biitsy drop of gas can straight rock Krylon Fusions world.
It is only one spot but it sucks

AZ200cc · 05-14-2009, 01:31 PM

OK so maybe I'm not done yet, I look and see things that could be better all the time. These things are fun to work on and easy. This is my favortite project in along time....Now it it close to being done it has some new shoes and I cleaned and resprayed the rims, Now they loko brand new.

Ok initial investment 500 bucks, Some elbow grease and odds and ends how much would You say it is worth now?????????/ PLEASE don't say 500 bucks

:?
