Thanks manNo sanding , just wait until the color coat has flashed off ( dried ).

Where did you find the pin stripe? 3m brand?I’d replace those bolts. Would be a pain to torque those down.
when I did my taillights, I got a beat up pair of 83-86 GT lights, painted the bar and edges black, and then clearcoated the entire lens. I then added the 1/4” black pinstriping myself. Did this 20 years ago and held up great. I agree that the black looks much better. I think the 84 SVO lights were black, 85-86 and 93 cobra were gray.

I guess the picture makes that intake disappear more than in person. I think the bay looks good! What about some red in the fins of the intake just to make it pop a little bit!Been wanting to clean up my engine bay for awhile now, and wanted to offset the dark whole it has turned into with a little bit of bling! But nothing crazy! I know I know no ac it’s not for HP reasons!! I just think these engines look clean with a little less of the mess!! Plus I like seeing the front of the heads etc! I don’t care about AC, I don’t drive the car enough on a regular basis that it’s gonna matter, plus I’ve been cruising with windows down for about 10 years. Anyways, I then had my Master Mechanic double check everything and she said all looks well. Also on spraying these after I prepped them now I’m thinking about just spraying the stripes at the same time so might need to re prep, but I have this bumper trim spray, but should I maybe use this SEM black gloss trim spray instead???
Ha yeah it’s not bad normally in good lighting but in the garage it usually makes it look dark. I thought about painting in between the fins or sanding back the tops of the fins and polishing them, but the red sound good toI guess the picture makes that intake disappear more than in person.

I’m in the no AC club for now too! It didn’t work, and I like the cleaner look. We’ll see down the road, but right now it’s on the real long list!
Whoa... This ain't that kind of site.Is that your lady behind the shop assistant?
Ha yeah I keep her in the corner when she misbehavesIs that your lady behind the shop assistant? That’s a bigger question than the thread question.
Nope no clear on them yet, thats just after the sem gloss black spray.If the runs are in the clear coat you can sand them down with progressively finer grits , 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000
but be careful not to sand through.
Then you would need to buff those areas with a cutting compound then a
finish / polishing compound.
OK , then sand and respray.Nope no clear on them yet, thats just after the sem gloss black spray.
