Last try: hatch swap

kielbasa16

Paint, 'VHT nightshades' as per forum member Shrute's journal. I have actually since stripped the paint off (back to stock glossy red). I have extra cans of the VHT I would gladly give to you at a meet if you want to try it yourself.

Don't want to thread-jack, but can you tell us/me why? (i.e. wondering if it was because you got harassed about it by the cops)

Dont mind at all. I have not been pulled over in the Z, so it has nothing to do with cops. The day I sprayed my tails was probably in the upper 50's, which is a little too cold for the paint to apply correctly. There were minor imperfections invisible from a distance, but enough to motivate me to strip the paint and do try again. Once I stripped the paint, I realized I liked the look of red better. When I first got my car I wanted to black everything out, I guess my taste has changed. The only light still sprayed is the rear fog light because I couldnt get it off a second time to strip it! It works out though because the light is otherwise brighter than the rest of the tails.

Ok, assuming I dont find somebody to swap in the next few days, I want to get a few estimates on the work to install my spoiler including plugging holes and all. I have been to Performance Auto Body in St. James. Does anybody have body shop recommendations on Long Island so I can compare prices?
