@@89G yeah i like those rubber end pcs as well and if it had come with those I would have used them for sure cause I used it on my last fox and never had any problems.

[@cassandralesh8536]

Looks good. That blue looks like bright regatta blue but yours isn't metallic. My 89 GT originally was the bright regatta blue. But somebody had painted it purple which is obviously a bad paint job because it's peeling. I'm going back with the original color and I'm going to use the Spray Max system.

[@89G]

@cassandralesh8536 very nice. I love blue Fox Body's! How long have you owned yours? My white one is an 89.

@@89G i bought this 89 gt back in April and it had been sitting for eight years. I did a head job and replaced the fuel pump and ecu, she's running but it needs an exhaust before i can get it stickered. I paid $550 for it.

[@darryl163]

Also how long did you wait after spraying the rustoleum until you sprayed the clear? And how long did you wait inbeteeen coats of clear? Awesome job this is exactly how i want to do my 87, thanks for any info you share

[@89G]

I did 4 parts paint, 3 parts acetone, and one part Majik Catalyst/Hardener (P/N 8-0950-4). I waited a week to do the clear so the paint could gas out. I used U-Pol 2882 2K Clear with the standard UP2323 hardener. I want to say it was 1/2 hour between coats of clear. That's one detail I don't remember much, but I know it wasn't a great deal of time. If I could change anything, it would be to use an adhesion promoter on the bumper covers. I'll probably end up doing those again at some point, as there are some bubbles I can see (it's been a year).

[@darryl163]

@89G awesome thanks for the response man, another question where did you order all the materials?

Wow, Shane! People always ask me how I learned to do this or that. Seems I get asked that a lot because I do most anything. I honestly think the reason most people can't do some difficult tasks is that they are afraid to try. So you mess up sometimes. That's how you learn. You don't learn if you don't try. So congrats man. Car looks great. Keep learning!
