--first step, second step and DONE-- love it (PICS)

had a day off today and managed to get my fronts done... i gotta say I LOVE this damm car even more lol

**** WHO was here that was a sponsor selling the AMG logos because the ones i bought off ebay are way smaller than OEM so i might have to take the left one off again and do some redoing it and put the correct size stickers

Prepped them sand down by hand

First coat with a brush second coat with a brush



Second step spray can (took care of all my brush lines and made em smooth as OEM) i went about two to 3 coats with the can



Third coat (CLEAR coated them twice and wallaaaaaaaa on the car)

on the first two coats that i used with the brush with my kit that is 700 or 900 i forget and the three coats i gave with the cans are 500 and the clear coat is 500 as well....

i used break cleaner to clean them up a bit with the non chloride or w.e its called sanded them down as much as i could all around and went to town with paint lol to me they look as if they were powder coated but without the cost vs it all came out under 50$ and i am very **** about my car so they look good
