Talking Nexson's Ongoing Paint & Fabrication Pictoral/Video Thread!

Hey Everyone,

I enjoy posting my work here as the feedback is good and I am able to help educate everyone a bit about the paint process and dash fabrications I do (gauges, monitors, etc). Recently my threads have been all broken up, but a Rockstar143 suggested I put everything into one thread. At any rate I contacted Steven bell, and got the okay from him to make this thread. The point of this thread is to help others out and share ideas. Alot of the pictures I take are of the whole process so that everyone can see the steps. I also let you know the products I am using.

I will be adding alot of older work into this thread as well, but for now here is a video I just made for a '99 TL Bumper Cover.

Great DIY. You make it look easy. Too bad I can't even use spray paint without messing something up..

Awesome video! You're inspiring me to try it one of these days.....my front bumper is having the same exact problem as this TL's rear bumper. Any tips on how to get rid of painted-on side stripes?

I had one of your dual gauge pods back when I was going boosted, and currently have your dash monitor setup for my CL. I have no idea how you find the time to do everything AND have a day job.

haha, Well sometimes spraying paint out of a can can be difficult. Some paint shouldn't be put into a can and used for automotive use

Thanks for being a fan! I do most of my work when I get home from work and on the weekends. Honestly I rarely go out to clubs, bars etc. Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings I am there hacking away lol.

I have a bunch more to post but I got carried away and tried to post it all at once, thus freezing the page! I will post more work on the next pages so that page #1 doesn't get overloaded =) So your comments will get us to page 2, thus allowing me to post more pics!

Thanks Steven Bell for deleting the post to make this page even come up!!

Now you kind of see that the grille was just another drop in the bucket. I sort of came to the realization yesterday after gathering all my pictures, of just how much work I have done since I was 18, it is pretty overwelhming. Never started off nice though, alot of redos for sure, but you learn, just as you will
