Yeah, pearls do suck because the only way to truly evaluate them is in the sun and obviously you can't paint a car in the sun. Also, the angle of the gun when you spray makes a difference as well. Luckily it's only a maybe 6" section at the front of the fender. Downside is that since the fender touches the bumper you can see it if you look. Hopefully the clear bra will mask it some.

Hopefully. Post up some pics

I have some work that needs to be done on mine. Rear fender lips the paint is peeling from the inside out from when I rolled the fenders. I have been afraid to go and have it done because of the pearl black. Two bad matching elements. But the alternative is rust so I better get off of my butt!

Ooooo, ouch. Rolling is so hard to do right and even when done right can still have issues.

You bet ouch is right. Done rolling before and thought I had the tools and talent, oh contraire mon frere. The car bites back. The paint is crap but I can't put all the blame on that. I probably stretched the metal too far too fast even though it was heated.

No, you can blame the paint. I've fixed hundreds if rock chips and punted this one.

Something VERY cool will be unveiled in about a week. I was surprised I got my wife to agree, but it's gonna be awesome. ;-)

Hard to give any without giving it away. Its going to take a week to do, if that helps. lol

And it's VERY expensive

Clear bra

Not exactly. I'll have pics up this weekend though. ;-)

I also got my AMSoil order in so I can do my 5K oil change (I really only make long highway drives right now) this weekend.

Aaaaaaaaand, I added to what was done while it was in the shop. Oh how quickly it snowballs... My wife got some preliminary pics (I didn't want to see anything before I see it in person) and said, and I quote, "It looks SICK!"

 

[quality_sound]

These are in progress pics. The car is done but it was too late to get finished pics. Those will come in the next few days.

Looking good.
