Did you build the front suspension?

hotwatermusic · 03-07-2008, 11:42 PM

thanks boo and ron yeah the whole cart is rattle can

no carolina i didnt. its a cheap all sport a-arm lift..i had put it through some hell but its held up great... it might look like it because of no bumper and the little stinger style bumper is a rack for hanging things in your garage that i heated and bent then sprayed it black then bolted her up.. dont look to bad i guess

Well, it all looks great...

I rattle canned my VW back in my way younger years.. and it looked great.. in my humble 60's opinion...

Man thats awesome, I'm a huge fan of some homemade inspiration.

Chris,

What year and model is that? That's probably my favorite front cowl, out of all the brands/styles. The black racing stripes in the inset looks sweet

What did you do to prepare the body for painting with the rattlecans?

I dig your front bumper, also.

Cart looks great!

thanks SS its a 95 g14. theres not too many opptions for this model but i still love it.

as far as paint prep i scuffed the bright pink it used to be then primed it. then sand and prime and sand and sand and sand.

then i painted with krylon fusion plastics paint then sanded many more times.. it had a nice gloss to it before i tryed to clear it (i dont know what happened).

i wet sanded it with the smallest grit sand paper i could find. i think it was like 2000 or something. it was weird it ended up with a low gloss but not flat. didnt turn out to be as nice as some rattle can jobs on here but i like it. if you are interested just search spray paint or rattle can on the forum and thats the instructions i went with.. hope this helps........chris
