I notice some inconsistancy on your primer job. You should practice your can control on some inconsequential things, and learn to zebra stripe (cross-spray). Also, make sure you're laying down 4-5 good layers, and sanding between each. I used to have those headlights, sold them to a friend with a VSM sedan. Looks pretty good.

damn has hell frozen over???? thank you eran! what is this zebra striping ou speak of sir? and i didnt know how many coats to put on, i knew to sand, but thats only two coats, i'll make sure and lay some more down tomorrow

Eran's abotu to do something really nice for you. Particuarlly since it's cold and wet out and 11:20 at night.

Hmmm, lemmie see if I have some spraypaint, and I'll go make you a video.

Watch out for the Po-Po with those mirrors. Be nice to see your car when you get done. Send some pics our way when you get done with the paint. Are you painting the car yourself or just primering it for the body shop?

Headlights look good... But get that hood painted quick...

damn has hell frozen over????

Yes, yes I believe it has....

Jason, you know you really are just a little pussy cat underneath it all....

[loccusst]

You could always use something else if you don't...like spray on No-Stick...then light it on fire!! Mmmm...pretty. Wow it is late.

Video will be up in like 10-20 minutes. Have to edit this s**t to make it brighter, and f**king windows movie maker crashes every time i drop a video onto the timeline

*downloads some shitass program that will be uninstalled in less than 30 minutes.*

By far the worst video ever. The program sucks balls, puts a watermark on, and the video was so dark that I basically had to flare the entire thing, but at least it illustrates the motions.

Zebra coating is basically horizontal sweeps of the can in one direction, and then horizontal sweeps in a perpendicular direction. It's important to turn the can 90 degrees when doing your perpendicular strokes, so you're still sweeping the fan back and forth, instead of up and down (up and down will make a FAT, DRIPPY LINE).

If you're using anything you bought at an autoparts store, you will be using a fan nozzle. It produces an almost 2-dimensional fan that is vertical (parallel with the can).

black is nozzle, red is paint.

If all of this is confusing, then it's probably because I'm just too scattered to explain it right
