-ZS-Carpenter · 06-02-2019, 06:45 AM

Was up early and needed a quiet project so I got the test pipes wrapped. going to do the HT coating later.

I'm giving the mrs another hour or so before getting loud in the garage or mowing the yard

New Hood 1.jpgThis may not count for a "Today" activity, but I found this cool little rubber sticker of a Rising Sun flag I put on my front bumper, Memories of Old School and no, I don't have the matching bandana.

Have you considered plasti-dipping your door handles?

Now you mention it they stick out like a sore thumb as I stare at it. Great idea. What color? Gloss black?

I used matte and really liked it. A gloss would have to match perfectly w the MB paint to look nice, I think.

I had mine color matched Mag Black a while back, I'm trying to get the guy who did it to do more but he is swamped with a big side job right now. Hope he can clear things out and knock out a pair or 2 in late summer/early fall

Washed, clayed, polished.... tree sap is evil!

Used CQuartz Ceramic for the first time. Was extremely easy to use!

Waited 5 hours then added the finisher Gliss.

That would be the bomb.com. Although I do appreciate how the plastidip matte black matches with the part of my CS mirrors that attaches to the body.

be sure to thoroughly and carefully mask off most of your car. YOu spray at angles to get inside the handle. I found plastidip particles by the driver mirror. And since our Z's are black you ain't gonna find it until you detail the car. WD40 and microfiber helps get it off.

Dug down until this guy popped out.

No pics but I washed, detailed, and finished most of the 49 final prep line items needing doing before I leave tonight for the Blue Ridge Parkway.

A couple of suspension tweaks, new set of plugs and fresh tank of 96 octane.
Spirited drive today with car hooking up well.
