Clutch cover, Kicker, and Front bumper makeover

[EastCoast Banshee]

Got bored today so i went on a polishing spree and painted my bumber and clutch cover inserts with truck bed liner.

It looks good, way better over stock black. I like that alot!!

I might have to steel your idea & give my covers that flatt blak look!

Thanks man. I will say that it takes a little more work but doing the kicker makes it look that much better. Pretty tempted to do the foot pegs and foot brake now. haha.

What did you use to polish that up?

 

I was going to look into an aftermarket cover but this really looks nice and it's cheap :biggrin:

Use aircraft stripper to get the paint off the cover or have it sandblasted. After that hit it all over with some wet/dry sandpaper like 2000. Then take a polishing wheel with some compound and keep doing that till your happy. Kicker was another story though used a angle die grinder with ro-loc disks and sanded the shit out of it till it was all smooth. then polished till i got it like you see it.

looks good man!!! what kind of bed liner did you use on the clutch cover insert and bumper?

[RagunCajun]

Thanks for explaining EastCoast Banshee. I will go the sandblast route with it. :woot:

Dupli Color shot from the auto parts store. did like 5 coats on the pumper and 2-3 on the inserts. make sure if you put it on plastic you scratch the fuck out of it so itll stick.

I have used Jas-co stripper to strip the entire car thats in my sig. it works fine you can get it home depot for pretty cheap. Its like a bronxe looking can with darker red lettering. Just brush it on, wait a couple min and it will lift anything right off the surface

Damn, looks nice..How long did that take to polish out?

[EastCoast Banshee]

Longest part is getting the paint off. takes maybe 2hrs of hard work to get it off. i might have not done it the best way i got the spray on stripper. After that i just started polishing with a 4in wheel on a drill. Took about 2 hours or so but im sure if you have all the compounds and a bench grinder set up for polishing it would go way faster.
