PROGRESS! Fujimi Nissan Sileighty!

[Suislide]

well, time for another update.

more paint on the car now. all and all maybe 2-3 coats total so far. there's some orange peel on the hood that i have to take care of, and also a small case of pooling in the middle of the wing. i'll let the pics speak.


you can see the pooling in this picture. if you look on the top tray of the wing, near the middle, there's a couple of spots around the edges that are darker then the rest. does anyone have any idea how i could get rid of this?

Time machine? Naw, some careful polishing should even it back out...

Try slightly lighter coats to avoid more pooling...

thanks Gray.

don't think i'll make much progress today, as i've just gotten my wisdom teeth out. not too mobile, and the Tylenol 3 should be kicking in and making me drowsy soon. but tomorrow, i promise there'll be more!

Great color choice. I suggest spraying lighter coats as well to avoid those paint buildups.

Did they put you on oxy contin (sp?) for the pain? My consumer ed teacher was put on that for his wisdoms and he said it was some crazy stuff.

not sure really. i got Naawws'd (lol) to relax me, then an IV of something else, and then Novocain in the mouth. i can't remember a single second of the procedure except that the dentist and his assistant were chatting about Miata's at one point.

Awesome man...NAWWZZZ! Its so good...even the dentists use it! As for the operation...thats really odd that you can't remember anything else. My theory is that the operation is such excrutiating pain that the dentist brainwashes you so you can't remember. My friend's brother doesn't remember one second of his operation.

Man, just thinking about you getting your wisdom teeth pulled reminds me of when I got mine. I'm feeling ghost paints in the back of my mouth now!

Nice going so far btw!

hey.. you get my first AF post i really wanna see some updated pics.. i'm about ready to buy this kit or the other fujimi sileighty kit.. i have only seen one completed pic of this model. i'm also thinking about doin' my own real sileighty.. it's a ways off though, kinda need a job for those dreams to come true

[Suislide]

thanks for the kind words!

unfortunatley, it doesn't look like i'll be doing much work on her until a week from saturday, as it's exam time at school and i really should get studying. but once those are over, i'll be burning the oil to get this one finished ASAP. we'll see what happens. maybe i'll find some time...

good luck with your exams and hope to see some prog in one week's time.
