Nice mods Josh.

Your engine compartment looks good too.

Finally got the trunk splatter painted and installed my DSE battery mount and Optima red top. I found out the water based trunk paint takes FOREVER to dry. Also, my rear spoiler holes weren't sealed so I had to seal those.

Looks great Josh. You did put the clear coat over that water based paint right?? I'm getting close to the headliner install,hint hint.

Busted, no, I still need to clear it. I just did two cans of splatter and it isn't quite enough. I'm ordering two more cans today and then I'll clear it. How long did you wait before clear coating after you sprayed the splatter?

I've still got the clips I used for my headliner, so I can help you through that. It's not too bad, painting the trunk was worse. :cool:

I waited around a week. It took ever to feel like it was dry. Spraying the clear is not as esay as you would think. Or maybe it's just me. I had a hard time keeping the clear coat all wet with out having a cloudy overspray look. The clear just hangs in the trunk and then leaves a cloudy look on what ever was painted last. My final coat of clear was brushed on.
