DaMadScientist and RHCP0801's Mod Day
 
Okay so me and RHCP dont live that far away about 100 miles, so we decided to meet up at his house for our madd modding, noob didnt have a jack or jackstands...so the jack was courtesy of me

His intake broke from cracking too much of that vtak so he bought a new one from Ebay

I was going to put some shop towels in his TB but he'd be pretty angry

Adam is one of the slowest people at sanding..took him like 3 hours to sand one bezel

All the shit from taking apart the headlights

Mine was sanded with 150 grit in like 20 minutes, while adam was still doing 1/4 of his

First coat of Fusion Black

Kids this is why you dont by intakes from Ebay, support weld broke off

Noob installing a chrome ricer one from where....Ebay...same problem is going to happen...even the support didnt fit right

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ne87/Pic11.jpg

After having his headlights blacked out..approx finish time 5 hours

paint doesnt stick to chrome good

DaMadScientist 03-23-2007 11:34 PM

Re: DaMadScientist and RHCP0801's Mod Day
 
yea paint needs a rough surface to adhere too...and the chrome wasnt doing it...might of used different paint

Re: DaMadScientist and RHCP0801's Mod Day
 
theres no need to sand them if you use plastic primer paint first, and then regular paint

RHCP0801 03-23-2007 11:38 PM

Re: DaMadScientist and RHCP0801's Mod Day
 
oh well, it didnt waste too much time and came out great anyway

well in Long Island they had the spray paint locked up in a case like some little kid was going to steal it lol, as for the drop on 215/50/16 tires you have around 1 finger gap all around

it was dark most of the time and raining...plus a stripped bolt and alignment of the top mount and the LCA bolt was a bitch

Re: DaMadScientist and RHCP0801's Mod Day
 
i say for the headlights you coulda done a cleaner job...the finished product isnt bad but for the sanding process you could have used 600 grit wet sand and the texture of the housing bezel would have come out cleaner and smooth and it would have been easier to sand...oh well nice job anyways

RHCP0801 03-24-2007 06:17 AM

Re: DaMadScientist and RHCP0801's Mod Day
 
the sanding came out fine, it didnt have to be perfect
