So Far i got the Base coat on. Just letting it sit to harden before i clearcoat it.. Perfection takes time i guess LoL.. I'll keep you guys (and Gals) updated on the painting and mounting of the lips.. I did the back lip too but didn't take n e picture..






Primer done about a week ago


Just a few things i used.. i just alcohol to take all the debris off.. towels to wipe and dry etc



Sanding it down a little bit with 1000 grit wet sand


Water down and letting it air dry


First base coat


second


Final..

Will post more picture of final product.. Still have clear coat and buff.. MORE TO COME!! thanks for watching and comments are welcome!!:D Better picture too of course =D

Welp, i guess i'll call it a day.. the front lip is kind of dark, but all good i guess.. =(.. the back lip look pretty good, guess spent more time on the back than the front.. welpz, here the final product.. thanks for the comments!!


rubbing compound to smooth it out



wax that mud LOL









That's it i guess. i need to lower the exhaust.. but yeah, i guess it's not a bad job for rattling cans and DIY right.. didn't get the same exact colors but all good

A few more shot!


of the fog covers and the lip.. need to get re-done but broke so maybe a couple of months =(


Lowered the exhaust (temporary) so it won't burn the lip

i wouldnt let the paint harden before you mount it. i left my lip on my bumper when i painted it so i wouldnt have to bend it in place.

just because the lip can bend, doesnt mean the paint can.

looks good so far :thumbup:

True.. I think imma try and use a blowdryer or a heatgun to bend it.. it worked on fender rolling to make sure the paint don't crack.. I'll do my best to only use this post as update instead of a new one.. Thanks for the comments guys! =D..

the front lip still looks a little iffy and not straight. rear looks great though.
