It doesn't look even. Try cleaning the spray gun?
And how long did you let the paint cure before wet sanding?
I didn't wash my 240sx for more than 2 weeks after painting the hood and headlight covers.

I wasn't expecting much performance wise just looks. I do feel the road more now but it's a good balance with my stock shocks. I think the shocks will hold up just fine and BTW....my front shocks are KYB and the rears are Tokico...WTF..lol. I wonder if it's like that on certain IS300's.
Oh, I hate those f ing spring compressors! lol But, it was a good time swapping those springs with my buddies and drinking beer! We took our time, total of like 7-8 hrs to complete! Haha
Off topic....since I have half of my car stripped inside I'm going to apply a crap load of sound deadener!

So far so good! I love the way it looks now, can't stop starring at her!

With the Sportx I had to take off the rear seats and the side cushion panels that the seat belt connect too. Then take off the "secret" compartment box in the back to take the side panels on each side...and of course the false boards we have and the plastic tool tray. Yup, fun stuff! Since I have this all removed I might as well add sound deadener to it. I'm also going to add it to the driver and passenger door panels.
