My car's aesthetics have gone downhill pretty quick this year. It's time for me to get to work, but I'm just too damn lazy and cheap.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1405632811.1.jpg) It used to look so good, nice fresh satan black trunks, shiny paint... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1405632811.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1405632812.3.jpg) Then during one of the cold snaps earlier in the year the paint cracked, I guess water got on there and froze. IIt's starting to rust worse than I wanted to let it get. I haven't even washed it lately. At least I drive it every day!

Take them to a Powder Coater. Drive the car there, take them off & drive home. They will Blast them & Coat them There is foam inside the hood and trunk around the latch area. The heat of a powder coat oven will destroy it. Might even drip down as it melts and make a mess on the under side. Blasting each panel will probably cost about $100 each. That is what a local soda blaster told me. Rick V8 pointed it out that applying heat in that area can create rust issues later. |
