and the buttons haha ---------- Post added 19-04-11 at 14:37 ---------- not much to do on it now till its done, just needs a new windscreen.. boot strip and to top it off i need red carpet the black ive got in it looks ****. took it for a drive earlier, goes fairly well for a non turbo dirty 30, heaps better than my old one when it was auto n/a.. rides ok as well considering how low it is, scrubs a little bit sometimes but im just gonna have to put up with it lol. i might look at getting a smaller tyre ---------- Post added 19-04-11 at 15:33 ---------- also sprayed up a rocker cover cause i was bored. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Will you need to clear it to protect the paint?

not really man its pretty tuff on its own, i put it on nice and thick too.. i guess i could clear it for peace of mind but i dont really see much point to be honest.. if i was spraying a body panel id clear it for sure regardless of how good the colour coat came out straight off the gun, but yeah the door frames im not too worried

not really man ive done a few little things but nothing really worth an update.. got a boot strip and a few other little things it needed, waiting for a windscreen to come now, and i still need to find out why my drivers side front and rear windows wont wind up or down.. still dunno if it my switch or if its the regulators. i *** hope its not the regs ---------- Post added 04-05-11 at 18:04 ---------- repsrayed all the plastics black on the rear end this arvo, i mkust say im getting good at spraying.. mixed up the same enamel **** i used for the door frames but i mixed a few different batches til i got it near enough to perfect for my gun.. the results were nooooiiiiiice. came out glossy as **** hallo ---------- Post added 04-05-11 at 18:07 ---------- ill get a good pic of the whole rear end in the sun tomorrow Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
