Then base coat color is applied, sanded, and applied again. These first steps are all very important for a smooth finish.
Parts are then dipped in the tank.
After a thorough washing, parts are sent to clear coat for three coats of automotive clear to be sprayed.
Parts are then hand polished. Not everyone does this.

Rear diffusers: much nicer looking than a large black plastic piece on the rear.





How hard is the diffuser to take on and off ?....I love the look of this !

Also.....I'm needing some carbon fiber inside....I was thinking the cup holder trim....can y'all do this in the carbon fiber look ?

Thanks for your help !

Diffuser is not too bad, i think it is definitely best removed with two people.
We can do the cupholders in the hydro as well

Thanks, Roger

Any news on these ?.....they look sensational !

Thanks Bandit! I was quite nervous since I had never installed stripes before. The stripes and decals were just what I needed to break up the black a bit.
