Schweet - In Phase 10" Sub Box came today, and expecting the headunit and extra phono cable to arrive 2moro.
Got the lexus lights up for sale and got more to sell - tyres, parcel shelf, Hella red rear lights, etc. So should get a good amount for them. Next time i'm near the bank im gunna put in some money too, so i can buy coilovers v. soon.
I know it has been asked many times, fit them myself?!?!?! I was gunna wait and fit new alloys etc all together. Then i can let the garage do it all. They can do it quicker, they know what theyre doing, etc, so maybe it is best that way. I will ask how much they will charge before though.
Yeah so alloys are ready for paint, coilovers are getting closer to being ordered and sound system should be done on thursday (although i need some better 6x9's - getting alpine matching front door speakers)
So heres some pics of then ready for paint. M8 primed them and i went down there and got them ready for paint. He uses a method called dusting. It is totally awesome and makes the final finish way better:
- He uses white primer for most things; it is high build type primer that can fill small imperfections and gives a btter finish to the paint.
- after theyre primed, a light dusting of black spray paint is added. This is used to assist with the sanding.
- now when your sanding, you sand until all the black dusting is gone. You need to get the primer right and get the dusting layer right or it wont work, so you need to know what your doing, but hes a pro!
So heres some pics after many hours of finger bleeding work!!!!! :-
Next time the alloys will be all black and i will need to mask off the rim ready to be sprayed silver. Then after that, full laquer and done. That should leave me with enough time to order my coilovers!!!!
Still more to come>>>>>>>
Cheers all,
LL
