    Picked up a Cirvinis Stalker front bumper for my car. Surprisingly, this thing is lighter than a stock GT cover by about 10 lbs.



    It had a small spot of curb rash, but I got it covered.



    It should be about ready to go after a few hours of sanding last night.



    Im probably going to put a couple coats of high build primer over it to make sure it dosent have pinholes everywhere in it.


    Finally got to my doors. Drivers side is sanded down and wiped some yeller mud on it last night.

    Tomorrow night. from about 6pm till bed time.







    I had a shitty day today. I found some pin holes in my new bumper cover and glazed over them and got it all sanded down. I decided to try this House of Kolor KWIKURE EPOXY PRIMER (KP21) I got a quart of. I mixed it up and it just didnt look right. The primer and activator wouldnt mix together for some reason. I kept stirring it and it just wouldnt mix right. It was thick and clumpy on the bottom and runny on the top. So I put some in the gun and tryed to put a coat on and it looked horrible. I just stopped and cleaned everything up and called it a night. I wish I knew what is wrong with this stuff It was expensive and I doubt I can take it back.

    Was it clumpy before or after you activated it? Sounds like they gave you the wrong stuff or the can needed shaken and stirred before you mixed it. You should always check the bottom of the can with a stir stick to make sure the "solids" aren't settled in the can. If they gave you the wrong stuff or the can was old, they'll take it back.
    I'm not prejudiced,I think all cars are JUNK!

    It had sat for a few months so I left it on the paint shaker for an extra long time.

    I got the bumper in primer this evening and I think I figured out whet I did wrong last night. Its probably too embarrassing to post, but if it keeps someone else from making the same mistake it'll be worth it.

    Apparently I got in a hurry yesterday and wasnt paying attention when I added a splash of Reducer to the primer. To back my story up, when I bought my materials, I bought everything from House of Kolor...I mean every thing!

    So most of HoK stuff comes in the same gallon cans. My can of reducer and can of Wax and Grease remover were right next to each other. Yup, I grabbed the wrong can. It turned the primer mix into a spooky mush.
    I wont do that again. My advise to anyone trying the auto body thing like me, keep your stuff separated so you dont mix them up...oh, and take your time.

    Everything seems ok. I was worried about the bumper because I did get a light coat on it yesterday with that mess. I sanded it down today and cleaned it really well and it seems to be fine. I got three good coats on it tonight and it looks beautiful! Cant wait to bolt it up!

    Funny you ask about my gun. I shoot my primer out of a cheap Harbor Freight gun (it works awesome by the way) as I got started yesterday, a screw fell out of the gun and I couldnt find it. I had to stop and switch over to my nice Devillbis gun in the middle of that nightmare. So afterwards I had to break down both my guns and clean them out last night.

    Since its all in primer, I decided to trial fit the front body panels tonight and begin block sanding them on the car. The bumper still needs a little tweeking to fit right with the fenders. I'll need a second person there to help me with that.
    anyways, check it out...
