MY First Try With the Porter Cable - Page 2

Ohh if you're talkin' about the 3rd from last picture, I think there was a tree right in the reflection of the hoods curve. I'm not too sure what the white-shadowy stuff is. I guess that's just how the pic came out.

i thought you had some holograms as well but after going back and taking another look i think it is just the reflection of the coulds. Well very nice, but you didnt have to rip off my thread title

yea when i first clicked on the thread and saw pics of bryans car i was like wtf cause i thought it was your thread.

Bryan · 06-08-2007, 05:34 PM

Yup that's why 'MY' is capitalized and I thought the thread title deserved a better owner.

SilverEcstasy · 06-08-2007, 09:59 PM

You're real close to where I live Bryan, maybe once you get better at it you can teach me a thing or two with the pc.

Elderas · 06-09-2007, 04:40 AM

Sure dude. Only catch is you gotta let me drive the TBSS.

Bryan · 06-09-2007, 11:24 AM

Man..white paint does not give you that accomplished feeling after polishing it. I think coupe said it best in a previous thread, white paint just looks "clean." I'm gonna do my moms navy blue Durango on Monday.

Grreen99GT · 06-09-2007, 09:00 PM

me thinks you need to take off the v6 ho decals

Bryan · 06-09-2007, 09:39 PM

Me agrees x2341351..Problem is the paint has a huge chip under one of them. The previous owner replaced the fender and the body shop musta put it back on with super glue or something. I guess it was my fault for trying to remove a super glued badge with a hair dryer. Those were the first ones I went to take off and found the chip. It sucks a lot I hate them.

Grreen99GT · 06-09-2007, 09:45 PM

ohhh that sucks, well besides that the car looks great

Bryan · 06-09-2007, 09:52 PM

Thanks

Yours looks greater.

If you look at that first pic it looks like theres a sillhouette (sp) of a person in the drivers seat. Well it looks like it to me..scares the sh!t outta me.

SilverEcstasy · 06-09-2007, 10:01 PM

White paint always looks nice, but with a PC, it'll remove those swirls and scratches you see upclose. Things that you would only see if you were STARING up close wth the paint. Like I sometimes do..obsessive, I know.

Maybe..just maybe i'll let you drive the SS.

Bryan · 06-09-2007, 10:12 PM

hah I'm the same way. Being obsessive FTW. Others may not notice it but it feels good to know I can look at every angle and not see the ugly swirlyness.

The side of the SS (doors and stuff) would probably shine like a mofo when all polished up.

SilverEcstasy · 06-09-2007, 10:41 PM

Yeah they definitely would. I'm tryin to learn now, because I may have the sides repainted per a tsb about rock chips on the rear bottom sides being nasty. They re-paint and add 3M clear bra on those areas, but I only want it to be in the pre-buffed and claybarred areas only, not the raw unpolished areas. Hopefully they repaint but we'll see.

Bryan · 06-10-2007, 10:06 PM

I started on my mom's Durango tonight. Just got the one fender done..

Left of the door line is the finished fender, right side is the untouched door:

Door before:

Fender after:

I didn't think to take any before pictures of the fender but it was actually worse than the door. I need to learn how to take pictures of the blemishes. How do you guys do it..flash on, flash off or what?

Grreen99GT · 06-10-2007, 10:10 PM

it looks clean, but i thought it looked clean before

Jake · 06-10-2007, 10:10 PM

I didnt see you posted new pics

Lookin good man! Man Those mirrors loo kgood body matched I cant wait to get mine done. Nice job on your moms car as well

Bryan · 06-10-2007, 10:14 PM

Goddamn in person I'm all pumped about the difference between the two panels but in the pics they come out like I barely did anything. How the hell do you catch the imperfections with a camera?

Jake · 06-10-2007, 10:15 PM

I noticed in all coupes pics he has a bright ass light shining on them while he takes pics. looks like a tripod type thing kinda, but with lights on em
