What I did during this weekend

**hawaii** · 07-20-2008 07:41 PM

I spend the entire weekend on blacking out my grill. Why? Because that's the 2nd time I handled paint. The first time is....when I prepared b-day present for my friends. Painful memory and that's not important. Anyway, I did not do a good job on that and I broke 3 tabs of the grill! However, the overall result is satisfactory and the grill can still hold tight. Can't take pictures during the process because my friends stole my SD card!

Tools I used (I can't find Plasti-Dip in Home Depot

):

Before:

After:

DIY = Inperfection. But it's acceptable.

Next week's plan:
Get the sport suspension installed.
Get the cluster, with working display and chrome rings, installed.

you could always sand down that part and redo it to remove your imperfection...

True. But I don't have another 2 days for that. May be I will do it next weekend. =]

Yes. Indeed I can finish it in 1 days. However, I started late in the afternoon and I can't see anything at night. I have to wait for the next day to continue.

When I am at Home Depot, I am think of buying this one or the gloss one. At last, I think that this would be better. Turns out that I didn't choose wrong. lol

Well at least we both got the same project done this weekend. But I got mine done in one day, so HA!

As long as the result is good, no matter how long it takes, that's not a problem. XD
But it's so sad that I don't have enough experience to handle spray paint.
