Very nice John D.
You must have the patience of a saint. Oh, and thanks for the welcome.

 

Hey Kelly..!

Actually - it's just after 2AM my time - and I just finished shooting 3 base coats and 2 clears.. And damn - I'm thrilled!!! Pics when I have a minute - but thanks!!!!

Oh - I also lost my headlight washers, as they didn't work anyway.....

And yep - I'm doing the "Happy Dance" I can't wait to get the 993 back together!!!

 

Hey - I figure anyone with a 914 in their SIG is worth the welcome In fact - I sort'a miss mine - a LOT..!!!

Best to ya'..!!!!

John

 

Damn, John, get some sleep! You're doing the "happy dance" due to exhaustion coupled with the paint fumes from spraying!

 

Nevermind - I wasn't planning on sleeping anyway Here are some pics after the spray session tonite....

 

It's kind'a cloudy out - but here is the final product.

Thanks again to all for the suggestions, comments - and support! And yes - I like it better without the headlight washers

 

It looks freaking awesome John. I love the new look. Hmmmm. Maybe some RS splitters would add another touch of cool to the front bumper. What do you think?

I wish my STUPID body shop would have done as nice a job. They filled my bumperettes and the one cracked within a week. Morons....

 

Looks OUTSTANDING. Thanks for the inspiration, oh great one.

 

Looks great John D. is the man!!!!

 

John

Great job! Your car looks really fantastic.

 

Great job John! What spraygun(s) did you use to paint?

Thanks!

 

Hey John!
That looks friggin' awesome!! I had my own heart set on doing the turbo bumper upgrade but seeing what you've done to the stock bumper makes me re-think that. Your changes really make the front end clean and subtle...very nice! Congrats and thanks again on getting the clears corners out to me!

I would be willing to help out any left coasters who wish to fill their bumperette openings. Only catch is you will have to find someone to paint the bumper cover..

My pleasure!

 

Thanks folks!! Honestly - I really enjoyed doing it (and - it gave me a reason to "upgrade" my spray gun ... I'm really pleased - and in person - I never imagined what a difference in losing those black headlight washers could make.... My thanks again to all for their comments, thoughts and suggestions..!!!



Also - ViperBob - yes, I do have RS Splitters that I shot at the same time as the OEM splitters..

My thanks again!!!

John

 

Hi Jim..!!!

I bought a DeVilbiss Gravity Feed HVLP with 1.3, 1.4, 1.5mm tips. It's sort of pricey with a regulator (if you don't have one - you'll need it - but I had one already). Before this - I used a DeVilbiss suction gun for years - but - HVLP is the way to go.... Also - I use the same gun for primer, base and clear.....

Best to you!!

John
