Yeah the dd aspect of my car kinda makes me not want to do it, but I think I might have to do it anyways. That looks clean as hell!! Looks like another thing on the to-do list. Should be getting SFC's and relocation brackets within the next few weeks, so I'll look into doing this when those get installed.

Ok, I had used Rust Bullet Automotive on mine, but could not get it to apply that evenly.

You did a remarkable job. How many of the components did you remove from the underside (axle, driveshaft, fuel tank)?

What made you use hammer tone just the way it finishes glossy?

I used hammertone because I wanted a slightly textured finish.

Looks nice! Did you take everything out from under the car to complete this? Then degrease, scuff, spray?

Thanks. Sorry, didn't bother to read the entire thread at work. Just glanced at the pics. I might add this to my "winter project list".

From start to finish it took about 6 hours. I work pretty quickly.

Thanks man! I'm glad someone appreciates all the hard work and money I've put into it and the vision I had. I know my wife doesn't lol.
