Me neither

**99 galant** · 04-23-2008, 08:40 PM

did you watch the weather and take the week off? or just do piece by piece and re-install?

**seth98esT** · 04-23-2008, 08:40 PM

Looks pretty awesome so far.

And for the record, the hump in the hood is not required for a DOHC setup, at least a 4g63t setup. I know the 4g64 DOHC has a taller deck height, so who knows.

Post up some finished results!

looks good in pics i cant wait till i see it in person if i like it then u r doing mine next lol

I am impressed with you doing all the prep and painting...the results are really great! I am just baffled that the paint came out soo nice considering where you were painting the car at.

Your 7g is the 3rd RED 7g I have ever seen in my whole life. A GS several years ago..a past member named NitriousOxide and yours. Looking forward to finished picks of the car all back together.

I would attempt to paint mine myself..but I don't have the time and my homeowners association wouldn't like if I painted a car in my yard.

Awesome job man. I'll say this much, i've seen the paint in person and it really does look absolutely phenomenal for the method/area in which the paint was applied. I'm sure the compressor made it a lot easier too. :D

**mko** · 04-24-2008, 10:12 PM

A couple of shots I took this morning before work. Ill post some more later.

**Blue Ice** · 04-24-2008, 10:33 PM

**beam514** · 04-24-2008, 10:35 PM

**mko** · 04-26-2008, 08:11 PM

A few more pictures I took after work today. Sorry they are all dark.

Cleaned the overspray, installed the door trims and all I need is the side mirrors - I dont know if I want to install the 2G Eclipse mirrors again, I might return to stock

**Serstylz2** · 04-26-2008, 08:15 PM

Well its not perfect, but its decent. I sprayed it in the driveway so it got some dust on it, but it isnt over yet. Next is to let it cure for a couple of weeks and then I wet sand it with 2000 grid to remove all the little crap that got stuck on it and then polish it.
