Exactly. Easy if you have those mad skillz.

 

i must be telanted...

 

What are these "skillz" of which you speak?

I don't think I know what you're talking about.

 

you have to have a certain level of skillz to know wat we're talking
about, tu13es.

 

dang it, i still haven't had a chance to start the under the front lip
painting...

 

after 2hrs i finished painting the aero kit's bottom verticle lip that was
chipped pretty badly from the last 5yrs...well, only about 28k miles.
also touched up all the chips on the front end.

i masked off the bumper and sprayed matte black paint. car almost
looks new again. im happy.

 

And that's what's important.

 

now my neck is kinda stiff... always happens when i work
on the very low parts of the car.

i over slept this am and missed my window to motor my MCS.
oh well, let the paint dry even more...i say. need to do the
dishes anyway...

 

Did you need to prep the plastic, what kind of paint did you use, besides being matte black.

Mark

 

the chip was only down to the primer so after cleaning it all the way, i
took a 400grit to lightly scuff the surface and hit it with enamel paint.

if i was real picky i would've sanded it down to the aero kit, but being that
it's so low to the ground i didnt feel it was necessary. plus, im sure by
the next drive i'll start seeing some damage to it anyway. i'll just
repaint it every few years.

 

motored my MCS this am. going to motor him again tomorrow
am, followed by a nice SpeedShine therapy.

 

Finally going to wash Geoffrey today. It's been nearly a month since his last bath and I seriously felt bad when a super clean R56 S parked next to him yesterday and Geoffrey wasn't looking his best.

 

Noreaster still blowing through here today... hopefully will blow out by tomorrow and Blimey can have a bath. Put new front pads and rotors on the Town and Country on Wed. night, and replaced a front swaybar endlink... with seized threads on the lower bolt... PITA...

 

Rain today and tomorrow. :( Finally get to use the SilBlades though.

DSC can be a ***** for starts in the rain, though, huh?

 

Only if you mash on the throttle too hard.

(it's actually the ASC, not the DSC, that causes problems... but almost everyone lumps both into one bucket they call "DSC")

I always switch off ASC/DSC when turning out into traffic if I'm gonna punch it... otherwise that nasty total loss of power in the middle of oncoming traffic can happen, which SUCKS...

 

well, with tons of crap i needed to do yesterday i overslept this am to
go motoring so i vac'ed the house instead. still had time to make it
to work, but decided to just take the morning off and going motoring
in 15. will go to work in the afternoon.

then, followed by a nice Speedshine session.

definitely pulling out my G this weekend. hope no fog like last weekend.

 

so ended up pulling out the G instead. sometimes i just get a
urge to be pushed, not pulled.

was a fun ride. speedshined my MCS anyways and slicked the wheels,
clarity'ed the glass. also plugged him back onto the charger for next
week's run.

 

going to be sunny sat and sun so going to wash the dd's again tomorrow.

 

Lucky. Rain all weekend here. :(

 

my MCS's b-day today. 5 yrs old. (also joined NAM 5yrs ago).

happy b-day MCS. thanks for the troubleful 5yrs. i still luv ya though.


i already got him a set of wheels/tires a few months ago so that was his
early b-day present.

 

washed the DD's after motoring my G, ran some errands before lunch.
think im going to relax this afternoon.... probably wont happen due to kids.

have to say the FitS sits my 2 kids comfortably and the wife while carrying
around my large cooler box and all the groceries. it's a great grocery getter.
no need to crawl inside the car to buckle up the kids.

doing laundry now.

 

Washed hydro'd nero'd Blimey this morning, and finished the brakes on the town and country...

Blimey looks good, but is getting a little swirly... No surprise since most of him has never been polished... Gotta schedule a day for a full polish job soon..

Happy bday to ken's mcs...

 

thanks, blimey.

come to think of it, my buddy at work has a town and country and he too
recently had his swaybar and endlinks swapped out at the dealer. whopping
$450 or something. yikes.

 

going to motor my G in 25. woke up kinda late.

afterwards going to run the duster, then SprayOn wax,
clarity the glass, and slick the wheels.

got a whole load of family stuff to do today...

 

Yeah, I've gotta go apple picking with the gf and her family (yay) but at least I get a bit of a drive in and I get to show off the new car to everybody there.
