Only patience and skill amount to such results. Painful hours of mental stress just having to block for hours.
Sooooo worth it though. Nice work!

Well I got another package yesterday that I guess I just didn't see. It is the new hardware for miscellaneous hardware around the body and new hardware for the doors and some small grommets.Gonna be buffing her down tomorrow and possibly painting a few parts like the VIS duckbill and the door hinges and the rear hatch again. I've got to buy several things and figure out what I need.

Tell me about it. When I'm standing next to a mountain of opened honda wrappers and all the parts are on the car I'll admit that I'll be a little sad. But there will be a little work after that that needs to be done such as assembly. My progress was good for the time I was there. I tinkered around with spraying a few colors on spray cards. I sanded down the hood and am going to re clear it. There were some small fish eyes and I just can't have that s**t. So I DA'd it down with 600 and 1000 and then sanded the curves with 1k and a gray scuff pad. So I didn't buff the hood, but I will post pics when I repaint the pieces that need paint.
I managed to get a few things buffed, like the Right door and the fenders. I also nibbed the body and started sanding. Here's some pics. Hopefully I have more this week.
Fenders done

Rivets? I see no rivets. I used aircraft grade stainless screws and locking nuts on the backside. It's not supposed to be bonded to the bumper because it's carbon fiber, and removable.

Well this afternoon I finished painting most of the leftover stuff. I redid the rear hatch and the hood. They both look way better. Less trash in the hood and no fisheyes this go. The VIS rear spoiler looks really good. I don't know how often I'll rock it but I had to paint it up.
Here are a few pics.
Rockin the sealer.

Nice sanded hood ready for some more clear.

Painted the hinges

After redoing the hatch it looks way better. No runs this time lol.

More clear for me to work with on the hood.

Finally the duckbill. Looks good.
