QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 22, 2008 - 10:51 AM)  the parts were white, jims car is electron blue pearl ,(honda B95P)so, i sanded them and preped them, then went to work, sealed the parts black, then hit them with some dupont chromabase basecoat, and the trusty old sherwin clear: later today i will paint the gt-4 bumper and the forgmann lip. Yes he did the same process. --------------------

QUOTE (808celica @ Nov 23, 2008 - 1:07 PM) black primer??? you used the same for the hood?? yes. well, technicly no, its black "sealer". i perfer to use dark sealer under colors like this, you get better coverage, and it dont lighten the color like a white or light grey would.  more pics in a few of the bumper and lip, theyre painted. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

so the bonnet wing and the rear facing vent bits you were painting in the second pic on the first page are metal on yours? obviously mine is a Group A Rallye, which is the aus version with all of the go fast best goodies they made for 205's, would be interesting how yours are metal and mine arnt.
like i said mine is still under the same paint it left toyota with all those years ago. But yeah it does sound like prep or a reaction thing. -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r

so, since the parts are all painted, and everything came off the clip jim bought, everything was dirty and dingy, so i decided to clean up the grills for the bumper this AM before i reassemble it.
a few before and after pics.     heres what i used to clean them up after i washed all the dirt off.

Mine also are metal [The back two vents and of course the big middle vent] The little scoop oddly is not - it's a plastic of some type but with some metal mounting hardware like the hood spoiler.

I was just telling Shannon how you didnt need to do that Manny, that was really nice. Thanks for going to the extra mile, you seem to do so in everything you do. I cant believe how well they cleaned up, they look like new in the pictures. I cant wait for this weekend, I never got a tracking number from EMS, so I hope the pump is on its way there and you get it soon! You will have all the other misc. crap on Wednesday. THANKS MANNY! This thing is coming out better than ever expected!
