Did you use a spray gun? Or just the can?

Spray gun. Good old Craftsman syphon gun. Sprayed everything at 40 PSI. THe gun is similar to this:

I am glad to see my mirror are actually going to be put to good use.

Werd, thanks again for those, Daniel. One of these days before the weather goes to shit, I'm going to have to come out and get some more stuff off of that car, I want the calipers for sure. Going to have them powdercoated over the winter along with my wheels.

Wycoco, I'm ordering all the new hardware tomorrow to get everything mounted. We annihilated all the little plastic expanding rivets that hold the bumper skin to the rebar, and just about all the rest of the hardware was rusted to the point of being unusable. Besides, new hardware is so nice, and it's cheap. I hope to have everything mounted next weekend. I'm also getting a standard i lip, just until I get my Rieger Inifinity lip later on. I'm also buying new fogs, but that won't be for a while, probably over the winter while the car's hibernating. Lots of work to do this winter.

Lookin forward to the final result!

by the way, the glass in the side mirrors pops out really easily.

this is good to know.. (i've got a drivers-side mirror with scratches)

does one just wedge a screwdriver in there and pry it out ?

I may have missed it, but what was the brand and product line of the paint you used? PPG?

We used Nason/DuPont paint, with Nason catalyst and reducer.

Looks awesome! I wish you guys could come to TN and paint my car. The cold fall weather came quick this year and body work weather is starting to run out for me. I gotta find someone with a heated booth.

Awsome work. So where did you get the paint? Paintscratch.com? How is the paint matching to your stock paint?

He got it locally at an automotive paint supply store. THey mixed it for him from the factory paint code.

It matches pretty well, but then again, we haven't mounted it yet and the only time we've seen it is in a garage that wasn't very well lit. It is black however, so it should match pretty well.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about it, after all, schwartz is pretty basic. If it were diamantschwarz or some other metallic color, I'd be worried.

Lookin hot Mr. Anderson, can't wait to see the rolling result :)
