My capri got a boo boo over the weekend

This is a place where we discuss anything BUT ascMcLaren cars. TV, movies, vacations, family, pets, girlfriends, college, school, OTHER cars, whatever....that kinda thing. Taboo is Religion, Ethnic Background, Politics.

Jeff, it does look awesome. Glad to see it. Will you be using Sem trim color in a spray bomb to finish it off? looks like 2 or 3 cans. :)

I was going to buy it in a quart and spray it but my compressor is now on its last leg and the rings are shot. The tank is getting the oil from the pump in it so I won't be able to paint with it.

If I have the cash to fix it I will spray it, otherwise SEM Rattle it is, which is what I did before and it works awesome and is very durable.

Marhyde Bumper grey is supposed to be about the closest.

Next is SEM Charcoal, also very very close.

The Marhyde can't be found locally around here. I bought the last 2 cans from a Carquest around here and they had a layer of dust on them.

Sem on the other hand, I can get any day of the week.

Took advantage of the weather this weekend and got more painted. Wish it was less humid but the hairdryer attached to my hip worked out fine to get all the things done I wanted.


Resprayed the ASC wing and mounted it, repainted the ribs in the tail lights and mounted those. Got all 4 side markers painted and installed, the rear window trim, windshield trim painted and installed. Painted the grill and headlight buckets too and installed them.

Also installed the door locks and some other misc stuff.

Making headway now!

I also a month back got all the lower grey sprayed too, so getting there!

Figured it was time for an update....


Well She is getting closer to being done....not that we are ever "done"

Got just about everything back on the car, all the trim done and painted...also I found what was draining my battery so that is fixed and I found a set of 17" ROH Snypers and threw those on for a change. I just wasn't feeling my TSW's anymore.

What ya think?

Looks awesome. You do great work. Want to come to TX and help me detail mine? I'll take care of the room and board.

Love the car. Great Job!

Mine is in incredibly good shape, it just needs an engine detail. Don't think it would take two years.
