Sorry I am not feeling it.
Looks like a bad paint job over chrome.
But if it floats your boat.

i disagree, i think it looks like a pretty decent paint job but yet, it's not my style...none the less very well done! congrats

should have sanded, primered, and then paint.

i would either leave it as chrome or get the whole trunk debadged. then again, diff. people like diff. things.

Holy cow what happened?



Looks like the fish eye attacked you. Did you clean them with something strong to remove any wax that might have been on them?

A good Epoxy primer would have worked alright.

I debadged it, washed the emblems, Sanded them all, put 1 layer of primer, and did 3-4 coats of semi gloss black. If it keeps going this was im thinking about just biting the bullet and buying deedubs cf trunk. from a foot away it looks really nice. =/ im still trying to fix everything.

OK the first thing you did wrong was just paint it.
No need to sanded, primered, and then paint. Just primer and then paint. How? Use this primer in the paint section at Homedepot. Its a out door primer that will go over anything. They use it on homes and works great for out door use!
Use that next time
As for right now, looks kinda muddy. I would start over. Its all up to you, I would just fill the holes lol Its not a bad. Just that I paint so I know what to look for.

Awww comeon guys.. while it looks like you could do a bit better on the MAZDA... I didnt think I was gonna like it but I do. I think the front looks GREAT!.. Hmm, Should I do mine pink to match the theme??

DOMINION

^+1 and it can be fixed. Its a great idea. Just needs a li'll more work

My8DriftsMe

The Chrome rotary accent will look dumb with the black badges. I'd sell them.

I like the Black I think with a little work it will look real good.

flip

but if you have the chrome tips w/ the oem exhaust it should be ok since the bottom row will have the chrome accents....

My8DriftsMe

tomorrow thats all im going to do is get them all nice and pretty. So tomorrow it will be all done with and ill have some nice pics up! =]
