Starting the detailing of "White Lighting"

Hey All, hope everyone is doing well... This summer like weather got me out and detailing ole' "white lightning" and wishing for some summer cruising. The front pads needed replacing, so I took the opportunity to detail the wheel wells while I had it in the air. I wire wheeled the whole area, wiped it down in mineral spirits and blew it down with the air hose. Taped off the fender lips. I Base coated it with Rustoleum Rust Reformer, then top coated in Rustoleum flat enamel. I think it turned out pretty good. What do you guys think?

before a little cleaning...
after a little cleaning...
all taped up ready to shoot...
looking pretty fresh, no?
ready for the new wheels...

That does look much much better. Not a bad idea...

Nice, can I make a apt. for mine? LOL

WOW.... Very nice. I I think you might get the OCD award for the week!!! And that is a complement in these parts!!!

Well done! Most folk miss this eyesore area!! Now do the frame and rear wheelwell!!

Nice work, I'd like to get in line for that.

Nice job, psychosid.
Now you are going to want to do the entire undercarriage!

May have to do this myself.

OCD definitely kicking in. Will be moving down both frame rails today. Got enough paint and wire wheels to get the job done. I know that will lead to the floors, and the next thing I know I'll be running a scrub pad on a spinning drive shaft, LOL! Seriously though, I got some plans. Got to get it back on the ground, so I can detail the engine bay.

Love this summer like weather in March!

That looks nice, good job. The door jams look good after the same kind of attention, get some new screws, wipe it all down, wax. Your on a roll, keep it going.

So didn't get anything done yesterday. Lots of kids stuff on Saturdays, and well, I just felt like hanging out. But I got some more of it today!!! I already had both the front wheel wells done, so I decided to tackle the frame rails and rear wheel wells. I got the passenger side done, but still have the drivers side to do. Pics of the drivers side will have to do for before shots, because as usual, I never plan ahead and I didn't get any of the side that I finished.

What wheels are you getting?

Going with the velocity wheel u2 55... A five spoke... Be here on Weds. Hope to have pics up Weds night! Hoping all the wheel well detailing was worth it.

Nice wagon love.. What percent are the tints?..

Chrome or Black?

Thanks guys... The tint is "limo" all the way around. The wheels are chrome 20x8.5's... I'm gonna see what it looks like before I decide on what drop to run. You know I'll put up some pics. I got to get the b and c posts wrapped yet. I also got to wheel it out yet. I'm getting pretty excited.

Looks good, but keep the b and c pillars white.... pleeeeease.

^^^^This.

Yeah, that doesn't work on the roadie wagons at all. You need the smooth caprice side glass to pull it off.

ohhhh... That's how they do it. I can see that. Got plenty to do anyways...

please black out the pillars it looks so much better,.

Nick

It's looking great!
