Did I miss the post where you decided to keep her? I know, I'm a bit behind.

Default Lucky to be in the 808

Got a PM this morning from a forum member who lives up in the northeast where it's 20 degrees. So I decide to take the Z on an oceanside cruise this morning in a balmy 78 degrees.

This morning I filled my gas tank since my credit card has been offering 5% cash back on gas (normally I don't go more than half a tank)

Only problem is that a full tank of gas really slams my car to the ground and I scraped really badly leaving the gas station

Custom start button popped out after arriving home tonight (I had the damn thing painted 90 degrees from the correct orientation ). It led to a big argument with the wife over these minor mods. I'm going to fix it tonight and then order myself a custom exhaust for my birthday on Tuesday - that'll show her

I'm not really going do the exhaust thing just yet... she'll kill me. I'll have to build up to it after tonight I'm not that stupid...

Since I screwed up the start button, and I was a little tipsy, I got stubborn when my wife called me out on it and decided to go ahead take care of business. I printed out a revised Z logo (slightly smaller - better fit imo) for the start button. Since I wanted just the Z to glow and Pintsize, wanted just the Z in black, I was able to kill two birds with one stone using the stencil for hers and the Z cut out for mine

I did three coats of Krylon Fusion for hers and mine has two coats of adhesion promoter with three coats of KAD. I will have to clear coat them as well, though it will probably be tomorrow sometime since the garage is now toxic I also plan to pick up some buffing compound (Meguiar's Ultimate Compound seems to be a good choice here), which I did not have for my original attempt. I am hoping this will give it a cleaner finish

( Click to show/hide )



Yeah... definitely going to do the clear tomorrow... just going downstairs I could smell the paint. And going into the garage to snap these two pics (very quickly) made me surprisingly light-headed. I think that's part of the reason the pics look a little screwy - they look much better in person.




Unfortunately, the Z is going to have to sit outside in the driveway for the night. I'm not too worried about someone stealing her without the start button
