AudiOn19s Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) M2 Competition showed up finally and I’ve started its protection program. Didn’t take as many pictures as I should have...was more focused on getting shit done. Still at least two days to go.

Wease Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 So I've been slowly getting some shit done on my '86 Mustang GT. Over the years there have been little things that broke, need attention, etc. and I normally blow them off because it's an older car and as long as I can keep driving it and it wasn't a safety concern, I didn't care for the most part. One of those things has been the hood. A few years ago, the pine tree next to my driveway leaked sap on the hood and fucked the paint up. Granted the paint on the car has never been great to begin with, but now it really looks like hell. I didn't want to spend money on a repaint, as some day I'll build an engine for the car and paint it legit. So I wanted some kind of stop gap. I had heard / seen guys use PlastiDip on their cars for stuff, and figured it might do the trick. After all, the correct hood on my car is supposed to have a flat black decal, not the painted on one I had, which is what the guy I bought it from did to it. So flat black PlastiDip on the hood is going to look really close to that flat black decal, if I can do it right. So this weekend I cleaned the hood off as best as I could, then taped it all off, bought two spray cans of black PlastiDip, and went to town on it. I probably put 8-10 coats on, and went through one whole can and part of another. Here's the timeline of how it went down. Here's what I started with, note the missing clear coat where the sap got it, you can't miss it: http://wease.net/86/Hood/Hood1.jpg http://wease.net/86/Hood/Hood2.jpg You're supposed to go really, really light for the first couple of coats, and wait 15 minutes between each coat. I stuck to those rules, so here's what that looked like. You can barely see it on there: http://wease.net/86/Hood/Hood3.jpg This is about halfway through, you can see it filling in nicely: http://wease.net/86/Hood/Hood4.jpg And here's the finished product. Pretty much all the defects, as well as the stripes and "GT" have been filled in: http://wease.net/86/Hood/Hood5.jpg http://wease.net/86/Hood/Hood6.jpg I realized that if I wanted the tape to come off as straight as possible, I needed to lightly cut it away with a razor blade. It's not perfect, but at first glance, it looks really close to the flat black that it's supposed to be, other than the missing bottom stripes and "GT". Considering I spent nothing more than a couple cans of PlastiDip and some tape, I think it turned out better than expected, and is a great stop gap until I actually build / paint the car.

Wease Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Looks like Plastidip. LOL, that's kind of the point. The original decal looked just like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Quick cell pic of my new wheels... They look painted in photos but in person you can tell it is a tinted clear coat over polished. It is a pretty cool effect in person. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
