Yep. Haha. When I get home from the soccer playoff game I'll be fixing imperfections in the primer.

My thumb still hurts from the acid....

And the spray paint is taking forever to come off my hands.

Sanding was brutal, every time I thought I was done, Eddie would come by and say, get here, here and here, it's still shinny. For like 30 minutes straight.

You've got a couple days with the spray paint. Just get used to it. Lol.

Looking good so far!

As far as the sanding. I repair badly damaged furniture all day. And I go through sand paper like crazy. After a while you get used to it. Tips to make time go by faster... Good music, and sand with your arm. Not with your entire body, LoL

I'm glad 1 is almost done with. Sanding that thing sucked.

He's just a baby. Lol. I warned him the paint thinner would feel bad if he got it on his hands.

Scuffed up the primer and laid down paint and clear.

I'm fine. Just ********. Eddie, should I swing by and pick it up? Or just leave it?

And you already put a coat of clear?

I bleached the shrouds, and sanded them.

I sanded down the actual headlight, and did a test fit for the projector. The shroud is a little tight, is that normal?

yeah, and you want to mount them with the screws......or they'll work their way off.

I put the shrouds on, and they were tight. Like the screws didn't really help.
