Seatownracer and I got together and did a wash and wax session followed by a very hot rooftop garage shoot...

I also painted the rear bumper black plastic black. It was getting pretty faded and Back to Black was having no effect anymore. It looks new now

Here's the link http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/j...0with%20steve/

and a BIG picture

 

What did you paint the rear with? Did you prime?

 

I cleaned it really well and then just used Krylon Fusion since it bonds to plastics. It worked well and I didn't need to go back and sand/prime/repaint. I'm happy with the results.

 

nice pics!!

 

Looks good. Back to Black doesn't seem to last long.

 

Sweet did you use rubbing alcohol to clean it or something else?

 

Back to black just doesn't cut it after the plastic has been exposed for a couple of yrs. The paint looks good and the car looks great. Nice photos!!

 

I just used Dawn and rinsed really well

 

Getting rear ended and having my bumper completely replaced did an amazing job of getting that original black color back.

Nice pics.

 

Looks good guys.

 

Would ya look at that..

 

nice, i should really consider this with the black plastic on my 8 as well...

 

Nice pictures. Where/how can we find Rx-8 club stickers????

^ you must have not been moving for the IAT to be close to 70° higher than ambient!!

Mine is usually about 10-15° higher than ambient while I'm moving. It slowly creeps up when I stop in traffic, but I think I've only seen about a 30° delta so far.

 

Yeah I was crawling on I35 behind an accident. Luckily I never drive in traffic really, I was on my way to my sons football game and got stuck.

 

Damn you I35!!

 

clearly that was SHORT and QUICK. Love the Red

 

looks really good painted black. What did you use to smoke your corners? mine looks more like the Ti grays corners.

 

wow! i like how that turned out! i might end up painting mine!

 

And that's why I live in Cali.

 

What was that about living in Cali??
