    Possibly Stupid Question - Orange Peel

    Risky on factory paint. I agree with above, just shine the heck out of it and don't worry about it too much.

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    After getting the bumpers back on, it was at this stage in the project that I really didn't know what to do. The class I took was over so I didn't have anyone to guide me. I also wasn't to happy with the way the paint turned out, meaning it had a ton of orange peel in it. I new I couldn't live...

    Fish Eyes

    Figured I'd do an update to this thread and show how my attempt at fixing these went. It actually turned out not too bad. You can still see them from most angles but they are subtle enough now that I don't think most people will even notice them. First I started by scuffing up the inside of...

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    I just recently put on some eibach lowering springs and also swapped out the shocks and struts. The shocks and struts aren't anything special though. I'd love to get some coil covers and adjustable control arms but the funds are a little low right now. I did modify the suspension a little to...

    Need some advice on job offer

    That's awesome. I'm glad you're gonna jump on this. This is an opportunity you could take and run with, meaning the skies the limit. Enjoying what you do is 90% of the battle, the rest will fall into place. Good luck.

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    Thanks man, and speaking of burning tires....ha ha As far as the motor mods: Heads, cam, full intake and exhaust, Mass air conversion, upgrade fuel system with 40 lb injectors and a few other goodies. But the main thing is just last winter I slapped on a Vortech supercharger. It's rad. Gained...

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    Keep in mind I did this in a class I took so I was at the instructors mercy for everything. I didn't know any better at the time. The biggest thing I wish I would've done different is sand my last coat of primer with a finer grit sand paper. My final sanding was wet sand with 400 grit (per the...

    Can you get a mirror finish with orange cutting pad?

    Yes you can definitely get a mirror finish with an orange pad, but use a white pad after for even better results. These pics were with an orange pad and M105. I couldn't believe the shine and reflection that I got out of it. But in the right light and angle you could definitely see that it...

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    Thanks, There's tons more. I've kinda been rushing through these so that I can get caught up and get to the good ones, the detailing ones. Thanks that really is nice to hear, kinda makes it all worth it. The one frustrating thing now, is I wish I would've known back then what I know now. There...

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    I also ended up getting a new hood. Its the same as the one that I had but my old one was pretty beat up. It had some major spider web cracks in the fiberglass. I did some test sanding spots on the cracks but they were too deep in the fiber glass to really be able to fix. This was an expense...

    My never ending project: New paint on my 5.0

    Paint day!! We put on two coats of color and 3 coats of clear. I ended up removing all my door handles, key locks and every piece of trim that I could. I wasn't going to at first but I'm glad I did. We had some issues with this front fender. On the second coat of clear, some condensation...
