No, exhaust is still all stock. Have been thinking about just doing cans again, then Y pipe when I could afford a PC too.
No need for a PCV with the right flash...but we are still working on a good '12 3/4 system map...
 
lol, for a guy who has never done it before.... I think its gonna be very hard :p

what are the steps ? From what I read...

Sand
primer
paint
clear coat

???
youve pretty much got it. if the tank is good without and dents or scraps its really easy. in that case i wouldnt use sandpaper just scotchbrite to rough the surface followed by your primer, paint, clear coat. go to a parts store and grab a tack rag. nothing more important than having a clean surface your painting


i did this tank with a rattle can

Ah, that means you have the color(s) picked out then. :lol
:no I didnt get that far yet :lol I almost bought a new tank cause I suck at doing these projects.

damn, that is good !!

If you have scratched just at one place , do you paint the entire tank or just that area ?

What can did you buy ? :p
 
Para, you should find a nice gift in your email:yesnod
 
good deal. if they arent too bad you can use a filler primer
They sell a one part scratch filler, thats what i would use. Just make sure to let it dry fully before sanding it.
 
This was the view from my seat tonight at the IU game!...I tried to post this from my phone earlier but that was a fail...

Anyway, IU won but they did everything they could to loose it...but ISU still did not play well enough to win the game...
 
probably the same thing im talking about. 10 min to sand
The stuff I had used in the past was not out of a spray can, but a spreadable filler...so yea maybe...:duuno...it is red...
