      Public service announcement, Proper Paint Prep is Pertinent to prevent peeling paint.

      the tool that did the shitty overspray on my car before me didn't do any prep on a large portion of the car before spraying it. I went to pressure wash it today, and.......well.......now my car is REALLY molting. Oh well, at least it's nice to know the original paint is under there, and it don't look too bad.....









      at least its clean for the picnic now.......

          Thinking about it, no time before the picnic, gotta finish getting the camper packed for next week today, and work saturday......

          I know the hood and the trunk are white, and the right rear corner is bronzit, car was hit and repaired at one time, it's a branded title. Original color is Cirrusblau metallic.

            Budget welders and plasma cutters. What companies do you guys like?

            Really looking into the offerings from Eastwood.

                Shit dude, I'm glad to see the Cirrusblau metallic is in decent shape. Just gotta get the rest of that paint off.

                Hey, anyone who goes to the picnic, feels the need to pick at some paint, feel free to pick chunks off mine!!

                  After using millers at school I don't ever want to use a cheap welder again.

                  Id pick up a used miller for $500-1500 before I bought a shit cheap one new.

                    so true.
                    nothing beats quality. even if it isnt under warranty.
                    our cars are the first example...

                      Was up super late detailing the M3. Hardly slept last night. It's gonna be a long (but fun) weekend.

                        I know the feeling. I was up way too late and woke up way too early.

                        Im eternally jealous of your new m3 austin. :)
