Just looked through your build thread on E46, it's sick!

I was wondering though how you got your bumpers to look that good. Did you paint them before tucking or afterwards? Any other details/tips?

[kpeng]

Thanks Andy.

I had the bumpers professionally powdercoated before tucking them.

Too bad you guys weren't doing the e30's back when I was still in Gville.

How much did you pay for your respray?

I have some very small spots of surface rust that I wanna get cleaned up before they get worse, tho most of the other paint is really nice and original.

I'm doing great thanks for asking. I grew up in California and my whole family moved back here from Miami while I was living in Gainesville. So yeah I moved back here to be with them, only thing that sucks is I have to worry about is CARB and smog tests lol

[ethrtyiS]

Nice. Yeah, CARB and Smog fuckin' sucks. Glad to hear you're doing well. Last time I talked to you, the car was still jacked up.

[lga714]

Yep that sucked, but all is well with the car now! BTW when you S/C your e46 did you do a 5/6speed swap?

[e30fan4life]

It's actually a custom color.

The car has had 3 previous owners. The 2nd owner was some kid who was on e30tech (possibly here too), and from Pensacola. I dug up some of his posts on there and found out about the car. He got hit and did a shit job repairing the rear, then had his dad repaint the whole car on his driveway. Ghetto retards...who actually did a decent job. The color is a Lexus green, with blue tint added to it.

just cuz u paint your car on your driveway doesnt mean your ghetto is called being on a tight budget
