The Performer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Your chevy bowtie looks awful un-polished. Polish that mutha up. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...st&p=420906 Notice the orange peel before wetsanding and polishing, That's how yours looks. Then look at how it'll look after you polish the orange peel out. I've done many of them for friends with just spray cans and if you know how to work them you can get a 100% perfect gloss on the clear, mine turn out just as good if not better than when people get it done by pro's. CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks' Click to see my build!

The Performer Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I haven't polished it yet. what orange peel are you talking about? I used Chevy paint so it has speckles of paint in it like my car. it isn't a flat color like the black you did. thanks for the tutorial back when I asked you Orange peel is the texture of your clear coat, when you look at it and it's not like a perfect mirror but has bumps and dips in it and looks about like the skin of an orange. Here's a good example of a perfect finish on the left, and orange peel on the right. Perfect top, orange peel bottom half. A good diagram of where orange peel is. In some cases, if the painter does not wetsand after the color, sometimes the color coat can have orange peel as well. CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything.

I was like it ain't fair how easy it is for him to do LOLI would think he would cost extra to take it off.I'll try to take it off first so he doesn't have to. I think the main problem I had on the last window I did was that it the water between the tint and window got hot and so when I squeegeed it out it left water trails which is the whole reason I am getting it done by mike. CAUTION: don't ever tint by yourself and then watch youtube videos or the actual guy doing your windows do it. you will feel like an idiot.

thehoe92 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Feels like I have done a lot lately. Lets see if I can remember. Since tinting I went to the competition and was still climbing at 142 on Thug Motivation. Took second in the 129.9 class. First competition ever so I was pretty happy. Decided I am going to do a new build when I get money 2 T3 TSNS 18's and 2 RF T4k's Broke a screw in the window switch so that was flappin like a mofo... Fixed. Got a 300 amp alternator from DB Linc thanks to Elvis. I didn't even know what I was missing. Biggest mistake not saving for that first. My lights don't dim at all, my voltage sits at 14.4 and will occasionally drop to 14 when I am driving. I can keep it up at 2,000 RPMs for demos which was my main goal I don't think my BL knows how to handle the power that is constantly going at it now. Definitely got louder since now I am not dropping volts. When they say every volt counts they mean it. Took the rear air control housing off... I can almost guarantee that is the most rattling I hear in my car. there wasn't enough room to fit my hand in between the roof and the white plastic to get deadening in so I stuffed it with some dense foam I got from a dishwasher package. works really well. also put a bead of silicone around the dials that sit in the housing because those rattle and fixed my rear light issue. I was giving a demo to the team and I turn around after I was done and the light was dangling. logan says it means I'm loud ! ! ! edit: you can see just how dark the inside of my car is by looking at the front passenger window compared to the winshield. thats without stock tint. imagine what the back ones are with stock tint and 5%.
