i really getting bored of this custom crap. i need to be challanged. i mean once you do a custom 2 tone with metal flake chrysler 300, everything else is meaningless.:whistle: so we got a indgo blue chevy tk. in. the first i’ve ever seen with dub stripes, old 327 badge (stolen off jays camero:p ) corvette badge on the fenders along with ss badges. the paint is decent nice hood. so we had to replace the lower valance on the front bumper, abs plastic. repaired a few spots and repainted with the stripes. oh did i forget to add, that it has to go by 5 and it’s 4 now, plus for a little added challange that 4 runner also has to be ready to go by 5 too. NICE.:clappy :hunt

then we tape off the previous layed out stripe, with some charcoal pinstripe and some norton/carbo yellow tape.

and of course, like bondo say’s more is better, and we can’t waste bake time, so for a little added drama, you throw in a 4 runner. custome tape to spot the lower lift gate, and the rear cover.

i had both done by 20 till 5 both came out of the booth by 5 till. the cover was a little sticky but that’s not my problem i just had to be done by 5.:cheersJanuary 31, 2011 at 6:53 am #27860funny i painted the whole bumper with the same white paint, and for some reason in the pics. the new valance looks whiter. oh:cens that’s messed up.:wak
[quote=”Ben” post=17776]thats one ugly a$$ hood (but to each his own I guess)…
Good work lild…I especially the the waterfall on the front bumper. So if you were to have shaved it off first, would you charge betterment? :rofl[/quote]
thats what i was thinking lol, the hood looks like it has nostrils
January 31, 2011 at 8:24 am #27874Kool pix Lild,looks like ya have fun at your shop.Sometimes fridays can be a pain :p
February 1, 2011 at 5:32 am #27924well, i used enviro on the 4 runner, and dbc on the bumper. i didn’t even seal the new part, so go figure on why it looks whiter.
February 1, 2011 at 5:37 am #27926that is an ugly hood and a strange way to stripe the front end but good job on the repair anyway!
