The bumpers look dull, did you clear coat it or is it primer?

Good job so far, it's always gratifying when you can say you did everything yourself

Thanks! It is not much. I am just an amature and does not do this for a living. I enjoy doing this and this is a learning experience for me. It is dull because I still need to color sand and apply another coats of clear.

Talking To LiCelsior...

Hahahaha! My initial plan was to have it professionally painted by my friend but he is too busy. So, I decided to do it my self as a learning experience. I will eventually buy a professional paint gun and shoot it by myself. I have been reading a lot of "how tos" and asking body tech/paint professionals for advice.

Man...I did not even get to meet you
I am sure there will be other opportunities. I met Lexkost and Brian and other LS owners (please forgive me if I did not remember your names).

Great build. It's really come a long way, it seems.

Let's see more of the AE86 too!
