Project Hatch

So, i'm pretty much done, just waiting on the o2 bung to come in to fix the exhaust. Which should be in tomorrow. In the meantime I decided to give it some TLC in the cosmetic dept, mostly the spoiler.

I knew the CF duckbille needed some TLC. I really wish I had before pictures, it was bad, the clear coat was miscolored and/or peeling on multiple layers. Looked like a shedding snake.

4 hours of wet-sanding and some polish/wax later......



Now it is by no means perfect, could still use a bit more wet-sanding but my shoulder felt like it was about to fall off.

So then decided to pull the car out for a bath, big mistake.

Apparently upon painting the valve cover, the wind was blowing a bit harder then I thought. There was so much overspray that the passenger side had a pink hue to it.

The A.D.D. kicked in and I then proceeded to claybar, cleaner wax, polish, and final wax the entire car. Thank god this thing is small, I thought my arms/shoulders were going to fall off with the wetsanding of the spoiler...... going over the car 4 times did me in.

Mr Miyagi would be proud, cause I got my wax on, wax off style down.

Finished product...


Now I am extremely proud of how the car looks at the moment. When I received the car, DJ and Kyle can confirm, it needed some serious TLC in the paint department from sitting stagnate for so long. But it looks way damn better now!!!!!
