friggin disaster.
I bent a connecting rod. So I had to pull the motor. I figured while the motor was out I may as well spray the engine bay, it looked like crap and there was some rust under the battery. So I sanded that crap down and sealed the bare spots. It took forever to prep!
Anyway so today I was finally ready to spray. I couldnt find the cup lid for my gun, so I was like screw it ill Just use plastic wrap and poke a little hole in the top. dumbass idea. the paint ate through the wrap and I got paint all over myself, the ground and the car. Oh well.
Ok im done complaining. heres some phone pics.
