HAHA, I was careful and my phone sits in a holder, plus no traffic at all on a 2 mile stretch in Texas. I can multitask.

See my phone sits like this

You have intake (IAT) on there twice LOL. My vacuum at idle reads -20 to -21, not sure on a gen 3 motor, might double check your lines. You also have KR twice lol.

Lol yeah it just snowed today, not much but everything's slick. I'm waiting to get called out to go salt a couple schools and hospital. Laid off collecting unemployment for brickwork n do snow in winter.

I haven't driven mine in warm weather yet, so I'm expecting my mpg n everything to be a little better. Mines getting like 15.4 city right now.

Snow sucks, no offense I have only seen snow once in my life. Here in the south cold to us is 35*

I agree n your lucky, I need to go down south haha

Come on down then, Texas is big enough and there is always work for Brick layers, just sayin. Might have to learn Spanglish though.

Yeah I've been to San Antonio a few years back for commercial tiling and it was pretty nice. A lot of Spanish people lol.

Numbers look "normal" I guess, KR won't be seen while just bumming around town, you gotta get into the throttle alot to start seeing any on most stock cars. Getting upwards of 5-6 kr is pretty much the norm for a stock motor.

Yeah I'd get on it just getting up to around 60 n it was getting to 2-6* kr on some runs. Ill try some more tomorrow when I have time now that I read up some more about it.

Just sanded, primed, painted, and finish clear coating my spoiler right now! Gonna wait to put it on tomorrow since I wouldn't even be able to see it right now! Pics on car will be updated tomorrow!

Poor mans paint booth with 20* outside, run outside paint a coat n bring it in to dry lol. Gotta do what ya gotta do
sanded

primered


base coat

Looks good. Guessing you used a aerosol can?

Lol yeah, my dad has a sprayer but he's 45 mins away n this'll do for now. If it looks like garbage ill have to redo it. But the clear coats making it look better so far.

Wetsand and you can make it look just as good as a sprayer

You cant even tell it was spray paint, very good skills Sir. Yeah, wet sand lightly with some 1500-2000 grit and then some sort of compound will make it really shine.

Yeah I was just reading up on wet sanding because there are imperfections, just you guys can't see them lol. I'd rather go with higher because I used duplicolor n I don't want to chew thru the clear. I did 3 coats of each and have enough to do one more clear coat. So maybe I can see how it is tomorrow in the light and go from there. Thanks everyone for the insight. I took auto body in high school but its been a few years n I don't remember too much haha.
