[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16618432, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, It was a long weekend manual labor wise LMAO!!! I tell you that 7 step process on the entire engine bay is no joke. I'm still wore out LOL. However, the end results are WELL worth it :D. I spent Friday evening and most of Saturday wet sanding. Then I started to buff on Saturday and Sunday. And I "still" need to buff the driver's side frame rail and the radiator support. I'll do that this week after work and then most likely shot Raptor liner on the outer fender apron area this coming up weekend. I need to get the painting finished so I can start on the engine's final assembly. Passenger side after 1000 grit. [ATTACH=full]1703018[/ATTACH] Driver's panel after 1000 grit [ATTACH=full]1703019[/ATTACH] Firewall after 1000 grit [ATTACH=full]1703020[/ATTACH] Here is the passenger frame rail after 1000 grit. [ATTACH=full]1703021[/ATTACH] This is the cowl after the 4 step process (1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000) [ATTACH=full]1703022[/ATTACH] Part of the firewall after the 4 step process. If you notice the corners are not sanded. That's because the buffer cannot get in there and once it's polished you will not really notice these areas as they will blend into the polished paint. [ATTACH=full]1703023[/ATTACH] This is the entire engine bay after the 4 step process. Man, all I can say is if you ever complain about the price of a paint job, just do this "once" and you will definitely know why it cost so much. [ATTACH=full]1703024[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
