Cool Finished my own CETA this weekend.

After doing all the work in small parts over a few days i finally got around to finishing it up. overall I am VERY pleased and surprised with what a rattle can is capable of and considering it was my first paint job it came out well. The ONLY issue i came across was that no matter what i tried, after i let the clear coats dry for a lil i couldnt keep some of the paint from peeling around the masked areas.

Thankfully the spots that peeled a little (the paint had a tar like consistency) are deep inside the groove of the bumper so you cant really see them unless you get up close and personal, but maybe next time i should let the paint dry overnight before removing any masking??

All it ended up taking me was a Can of Primer, 2 cans of Krylon Fusion, and a can of clear coat with 600,800,1500, and 2000 grit sands


Anyways heres some pix up for the day!!!!!!!! (ill try and get some brighter ones and ones of the peeling up tomorrow)
