Day 3-Things start to pick up.

Hello again everyone!
today i went to Lowes and Autozone and picked up a buncha things for the build. following that i spent a few hours modding before it got dark out.

So i got all this crap today


some acrylic cut to the right length from lowes, it seems all scratched but i think its just in the sheet over both sides(i hope)


some sanding block things i totaly failed at cameraing them lol..(ended up being very useful)


sandpaper for lapping


some paint i still have 2 kits of the mirage to come.


alright im gona show u all the paint i got if any of its not gona work for what i say im gona use it for please say something as i was very confused when picking this stuff out.

acid etching primer to prime all the metals


primer for the plastic stuff


gloss black for the interior


and finaly clearcoat


now if any of that isnt what i think it is or wont work for what i want it to work for please speak up as im very unsure.

alright at this point in time i went downstairs and start working on the side panel from yesterday, i ended up getting black paint all over myself and couldnt get the camera until after i did about 2 and a half hours of work on it.

Before


After


still need to file and sand it but its looking dramaticaly better than yesterday




disposed of the center


then i got this a little better, im just gona c channel it but it looked Fugly yesterday


and close up


Alrighty now im wondering since i could only find silver colored screws would painting them black work? if anyone knows it would be a big help. im thinking that screwing them in might damage the paint on them and make them look bad but if anyone knows if painting them would work please tell me.

Tomorow i will finish the side window and paint a test peace so i get some practice in before the mirage stuff gets here.

Thanks for watching! ^_^
