Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

finished my front bumper re paint job. came out pretty damn good once again. this is wet sanded with 1000 and buffed with the good old HF buffer.



and the cherry back on.... the grill.




i just need them fog lights to get here to finish the front off.


i played with the back bumper, the top got all rough feeling, so wet sanded it with 1000 and buffed it, and black was on the pad, clearly i lost the clear coat. so the top 1/2 will be getting repainted and cleared in the near future.

Scotty go on Facebook and get a ray regal emblem made of it in the gnx shpwe and the turbo it

but i went through all the trouble of masking off the emblem and then taking the masking off while the paint was still wet and then cleared it all nice lol (thats why it pops now,,,clear coat)

and its not a turbo. i like the Indian feathers.

Changed rear pads on mine and I changed rotors on my mom's Caliber as an early Mother's Day gift.

Jacked up the GTP and looked around... shouldn't have done that! Now I'm riding a wave of depression, theres no $ to fix anything and it needs plenty. Of course if I do throw some parts at it, somebody else will throw their car at it and I'll be at square one again

BTW Scotty you da rattle can king, man. Tight lookin ship you got there.

I'm picking stuff for my oil change and the impala's. Purolator pureone filters for sure, and either mobil 1 or valvoline synpower (10w-30) for my car. Hmm... I'm using Mobil conventional on the impala.

Also getting oil change stuff for my uncle's diesel tractor, rotella 10w-40 and a wix* filter. May do the trans fluid too, takes like 5 gallons.

thanks man. you know its just to easy to not try it out. once again, less then 50 bucks. a paint shop would want a couple hundred easy.

i know a lot of us have the missing clear coat on the bumper tops, like i did, and the fail to shine no matter how much product you use on it. 50 bucks in paint and paper and its almost new looking. i didnt go all out fixing every little scratch this time, so theres a few showing though but you have to look for them.

someone used a paint pen on 3 spots on the bumper years before i got it. i sanded them smooth and boy they are gone now lol

im gonna wait a month then re buff the crap out of it, then wax it up.

What's in your hand? Part of the gasket? Or maybe a pry bar? I wouldn't pry on those pans though.

After it got rained on. I left it outside by accident in a pop up T shower, but I washed it and it cleaned up nice.

You left your car in the rain on accident? Mine hasn't missed a drop of precipitation for at least 2 years lol.

It gets parked in the garage everyday. If it is raining I drive something else. I only get the underside wet once a year when I wash it out at the car wash at the end of the summer season. I wipe all the underside down with a rag I spay with wd40. I do that to the painted bits like suspension, and rockers. Keeps the rust out. Yeah, I maybe anal or over the top, but oh well.

Rain = free car wash in my book. Driving it in the hard rain is even better, under car wash is included with the free rain.

You treat your GP like we did our TA.

Make sure to hit big puddles for the extra cleaning power.
