Looks Fine & Dandy

I'm soon to be done with my all trim SEM treatment. 8)

Though I'm not too sure on the paint for the Diving board?
I'm thinking of rocking that 2-part epoxy primer color or textured SEM black.

Alright, here's a few pics of the bumpers back on the car. The ones of the front aren't very good because the light outside was way too bright, the shrouds are a little wavy (going to double-stick tape them down) and I also don't have the front airdam back on yet, but I held it up against the bumpers to see how it looked, and it looks really good. I just didn't have time to put it back on today. But the shots of the rear came out good, and I got one of the door handles, damn were they a dramatic improvement.

I'm really pleased with how the bumpers and trim came out. The paint on the bumpers looks great, it's very uniform and smooth. I did 5 coats per bumper, on top of 3 coats of primer, so I think it should be pretty tough. I'll get some more pics in better light and with the airdam on this weekend. I'm having a full cut & polish done on it this weekend, so it will be looking great for pics. This job has clocked in at just over 17 hours, including removing and reinstalling everything.

BTW, my car isn't as nasty as it looks. It was really dirty, there was pollen all over it, and a lot of the bigs spots were big flecks of pollen that just came out looking huge on camera. My paint is actually really nice, and I hate the way the front end looks without the airdam.

Can you please repost these pics? They are no longer showing up. Thanks.

up from the waaay back... I was thinking, what else is josh doing.

[Jand3rson]

I don't think I have them anymore, sorry. Damn, that was a long time ago.

Where do I get the SEM black. appreciated.

[AndrewBird]

Most auto paint supply stores should have it.

Honestly though, SEM is a bit over rated. It's a great paint, but expensive for no gain. I really like Dupli-color paint, or for plastic, I use Krylon Fusion.

please repost the pics! I would really like to see how they turned out.
