ericmaxman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Body has been primed. Quite pleased with the results. Overall shot Rear and Side view. I tinted those windows. Seems to look better. Recaro seats. Well, if you must know, when i was removing the masking tape for the seats, it peeled the paint off in big big pieces. Decided to use my backup Recaros. I would reuse the stock seats on other cars that deserves it. Some feedback please. :feedback: I'll be using my other set of rims from the Magnum.

MrObsessive Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Primer job looks good from where I sit! What kind of masking tape did you use? I use Tamiya Tape exclusively for masking and have never had paint lift...............ever! The stuff is THAT good! It would be worth seeking out in your area to pick up some.............if not, check online as it's available. Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmaxman Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was a little careless. I did not sand the seats before I sprayed them. Yes, Tamiya Masking Tape never peels paint off under normal situations. If it does come off, then it has something to do with my primer or my sanding. I am using Tamiya Masking Tape, btw. Roughly US$ 3.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
