The rear was def the worst caught fire burnt the plastic and foam imact, bought it that way. Thats why it came with the bottom piece. The front had lots of holes from liecence plates and screws attaching chin spoilers and all that jazz. Haha

Tomorrow is here
Used epoxy primer on the bumpers, I'll never go back to laquer. Color match is great even with the flex additive.
1945 Trinity Paint "Starfire" is pretty much junk. I wouldn't use it again. Its cheap and alot of extra work, not even close in savings verses time.

Don't buy cheap audio equipment and don't buy cheap car paint. Always go with an established name brand.
I really dislike the car paint i used. It's supposed to be urathane base clear coat, and I did not use the clear that came with the kit to finish the front clip it moddled up so bad .
And Rockville sura ain't no how no way close to rockford fosgate quality.
I'm not saying buy the most expensive but don't get the cheapest item you can find. I have relearned "You get what you pay for" here recently.
Don't go nutz like felix did with his rootbeer GD3.
Because you'll never get what you invest in it. I always try to look at each project with a profit margine upon the sale of the vehicle.
The biggest thing is to enjoy and grow in the different jobs, looking forward to the next step in the process. Make it clean as you can, and have a theme for the car.
I usually have the theme before i get the car, lol.
O well gentlemen have a good day. Tomorrow brings new challenges to excell in.
