Of you've sprayed anything before your notice its very user friendly, sprays even and lays down nicely. My front bumper and cap will need a wet sand to get rid of the orange peel, not even that noticable. My Denali rear bumper cover and appliques layed down so smoothly they dont even need wet sand.

How many cans did you go through? I ordered two cans so far. I will have to paint my front bumper, bumper cap, and an HD hood that I'm purchasing from @dszx13
I'm sure that I will be ordering more, just don't have an idea of how much I will go through yet. Oh, I still have a set of fender flares that I need to paint as well.

Got some more jdm astar led bulbs. Kind of addicted with this company, great quality and awesome output with a cool 5000k white light instead of the dimmer and blue 6000k Ebay lights. With the money, I'm done with Ebay Chinese lights forever!!!

camera plays tricks with the lighting but it's good enough that you can tell the difference
Pics in wifes car but it's all the same

Um just the bumper and cap I would be safe and say 2. Hood alone at least two? I used tall mixed cans from a local paint shop. I used small duplicolor cans for small pieces like my rack caps and window vents. If it's those small cans I'd say...um..10 cans

Forgot about these. Got some 3000k bulbs for the fogs for winter only.

Low beam (fog only)

High beam (fog only)

 

[05Single]

Didn't realize i never added a follow up on these either , slacker. Output shots with the 5000k bulbs . Again these are just the fogs only.

Basically laser beams.

Arizona is so nice. If I don't stay in Pennsylvania I'm headed to Florida or Arizona

If you like desert and 110 degree summers! It’s ok in the winter but that’s about it as far as Im concerned. My parents used to snowbird down there.

Flagstaff is ok. Not any worse than Pennsylvania or Florida during the summer

Lived in Vegas for a bit, then riverside, ca. AZ is a little warmer but I love the heat... hate ,hate , hate the cold. Wife grew up in the Philippines so shes already adapted to even hotter temps. Not worried about the weather , that's what attracted us. More concerned about house purchase. Not even really concerned about that either lol

I'm the same way. 21 years of Pennsylvania winters is enough for me lol

That 0/2 drop was such a tease

Right rear air shock is shot I think....

Crown 4" drop springs. Djm stock extenders. Keys turned all the way down

 

[05Single]

So technically I have a 1/4 drop till i install keys . Didn't have the tool for removing the keys.
Time to wash her and get ready for another multi stage exterior detail

Same time day ready for paint

That carolina lean

Paint needed some serious tlc can see the fender already finished and the door untouched

Also polished up the shoes, brought them back to life...much needed tlc for the ltzs

Super illegal and ghetto rolling without a front bumper, but the struggle is real.
