Ground effects almost on!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey guys, im finally almost done painting my ground effects. I used all y3f peices except for the front, i baught the rk sport front peice. It was a pain in the a$$ finding the y3f peices, but i did! I did some major prep work and i was dettermined to do these myself! Here are the steps i took---
1.)Cleaned all peices with soapy water
2.)Went over them with scotch brit pads
3.)Sanded them with 650 grit
4.)Filler primed
5.)Sanded down with 650 grit
6.)cleaned with 50/50 rubbing alcohol and water
7.)black primered (3 coats)
**************thats where i am at now**************
TOMORROW
8.)Black GM base coat (3 coats)
9.)Clear Coat (3 Coats)
10.) Wait for a day or so, then put on car!!!
Ill post pics as soon as i can, i am posting because i am extremely excited about this,lol
BTW, its a 2001 SS
Any comments on process are greatly appreciated.

Is the Y3F this package? And don't forget to wetsand the primer before you apply the color coat. You didn't list it so I'm just making sure.
