so are you repainting everything or did you get a whole bunch of new stuff?

It should look hot, I cannot wait! :D

Yeah I want to repaint all my black trim pieces to, but not to my body color. Keep them black, because now they are turning a greyish color. :x

Last pic - did you forget to mask your mirror?

Looks like good work...painting is tough. It's more an art than a science.

Dont worry, i masked it all off. :D I did a careful job so paint would get in back a bit.

If i were to do it over again, I would leave everything on the car. It was so much easier to paint the mirror on the car, but taping is a bitch. The door handles I still think Id keep them off the car, or at least loosen them.

Do you have some "before" photos so we know what your car used look like ?

Sha...good luck with the 'splitter' of the GT bumper. I got mine painted twice (once from being in a small fender bender, the other from a rogue 5 gal bucket on the highway that made love with my bumper at 55mph :evil: )

and the first time, it didn't take. That grainy surface isn't all that receiving to paint. And you should have special flexible primer and paint for the bumeprs at least.

The second time, the same auto body shop tried something different and so far, so good....edges aren't peeling up at the line between smooth and grain bumper textures.

But, I am looking forward to this white wash once its done. Should look real nice.

I sanded all the plastic parts down and used Wipe & Wash to get rid of the dirt. I also got a special kind of plastic primer and painted all these pieces before doing the base and clear coat.

btw, Iave had pics posted up for a while now :P
