Sourmug;

That looks great. Good work.

For primer, you can go to Auto Value and get their sandable primer you spray with an air gun. Igot mine from Auto Value in Crowfoot cetre but they will all have it. Partsource or even Candian Tire and NAPA should as well. You need some reducer etc. as well but it will allow you to spray the coats of primer on and not have to sand it all off again before applying your final paint. The spray can primer may end up lifting when you spray your final automotive paint on it.

Pretty cheap for the paint and it is worth it. It also goes on thicker so it will fill more of the tiny scratchs and fill in the imperfections better than the spray can.

Great work on the lid.

Cheers
Don

Beautiful work, Nolan .... come do my Formula next (I'm allergic to fiberglass ). Do you think there will be a problem with water coming in through the openings and getting the engine and elctronics wet ?

I was helping someone on here with the same general project but that disappeared a year ago. =/

Crazy, done in a day! Good job, looks good!
Sourmug MAR 13, 02:57 PM
Thanks for all the kind comments.

I'm not too worried about water entering the vent, I know that some will but I like the looks of the vent. Time will thell though. The car isn't going to be winter driven and is garage parked so it doesn't sit outside very often and snow won't be sitting on the decklid.

+'s for all who don't already have 'em.

Edit to say: Only this thread was put together in a day, the vent has taken much, much longer
