Hey folks, this is coming from a guy who doesn't waste time. EIGHT [expletive-ing] HOURS. After it was already corrected.

All lug nuts had a lot or surface rust on them, so I decided to sand each one and paint them with werth paint...

Heh heh, OK, I'll admit it,...I woulda just run to the Porsche dealer for new ones

3m rubberized undercarriage spray was used in certain area’s to prevent any future rusting...[and]... Various parts received a paint resurfacing to get a nice clean look.

How well do you have to prep for the 3M to adhere? I'd been wondering how you'd deal with the surface rust (my approach woulda taken forever).
Also, interesting that you did this step *after* all the paint correction; I woulda been paranoid about overspray and I usually do the undercarriage stuff first.
Oh, and did you use your top-secret dressing on all the plastics? Like the steering column stalks/etc.? |
