What was your intended look? It looks sorta like the DupliColor Shadow (black chrome) I sprayed my side markers with today.

The aluminum edges are still poking through, even after three coats. I thought the two-tone would look good, but the cheap paint flaked a bit when I was working around the letters with a toothpick. I may take it off and do another coat of black and clear coat. Debaged doesn't look too bad either.

Took out one of my stock tweeters to use as a pattern to make mounting plates for new speakers I bought over a month ago and have not found the time to install. Decided to use an old black DVD case -- looks like it will do the trick.

I just finished the last coat of clear on my side markers. It was a bit of a fiasco having to paint three times before I damaged one of the side markers and had to start over completely with a second set :shakes head: But I managed to learn from my mistakes, and I am very pleased with the results. One medium-heavy coat of DupliColor Shadow transparent black basecoat, 3 light coats of clear, and 2 heavy coats of clear. I'll be putting them on tomorrow morning before my trip to the tuner :tup:

Let my dad drive the beast for almost 100 miles. Finally after the tune and all the parts I put on there I have learned to really love my car. I now have the same feeling about my 370 as my dad has about his 350. Awesome cruise and fun times.

Went out and bought a new microfiber wash mitt and drying towel and washed her up this morning. Having the right towels on a black car makes a huge difference! Now she's all clean and ready to sit in the garage for the next 5days lol

Surprisingly, gunmetal is almost as bad as black. Leave it alone for two seconds and you might as well rewash. Oh you should see my towel collection. :ugh2: lol

I'd like to wash mine today but it is cold and it'll be raining all freakin week. Gettin' my Stillen fascia put on on Thursday. Picking up Friday. Hopefully it isn't raining so I can clean it up for the Sumospeed meet here in VA Beach on Saturday. Don't wanna be the clown in a dirty Z. hehehe... dirty Z. :eek:

Had a decent detailing start yesterday. Finished today for a nice cruize to brunch!:driving:

Drove to the store this morning. I wanted some fresh blueberries, and to test the 70% 3m Crystalline tint on the front window. Parked at the store the car was facing the sun. When I came out I felt some heat and was a bit disappointed, untill I headed north and the sun was coming in through the passenger side window. Quite a difference. The car seat and my arm were HOT. I can't wait until I get the rest of the car tinted with 40% tint. :eekdance:

Discovered yet another door ding. Now i have a matching pair. Fffuuuuuuuu

There a ton of paintless dent repair guys out there. A buddy of mine (Halskie, may he rest in peace) had a VERY nasty door dent (not a ding, a dent) and this guy Pierre made it look like it was never there. You should check it out.

Not cool. Very sorry to hear this.....

Yes that technology makes a world of difference these days. Good call!

Clean and wax for the week. :tup:

Sigh. Thanks u guys:tup:
