I'd love to make Kurt's life hell
But Kurt don't go to the body shop on E. Cesar Chavez to get his safety
He go to sticker stop where they put a meter on the glass and will fail his ass.

It's symbiotic
Like a leech that sucks you dry
Leech gets nourishment and I'm able to release the toxin buildup at the same time
Allow new juices to be replenished
It's the best really

it starts off with 20 more hp than the supercharged one.
probably made up for it with the piggy back though.

I usually just do darkest legal...sometimes I'll even go for whatever the front legal is
on the back to keep it even looking although you usually can't really discern the difference...

Good job Kurt!

Finally got the paint correction. Went ahead and had it professionally sealed wile at it. Not cheap but I should have done it when I bought it. The previous owner trashed the coat.

WTF is going on around the fuel filler? Looks like the Hulk removed the gas cap & gave it a toss. Or is that a background reflection?

don't wish that on his poor clear coat.
@kurtatx good work, man...
glad you didn't cheap out.
the learning curve is huge and
if you don't have the time no point in wasting it or the money.
Getting it done right was the way.

If I may make a suggestion now that it's swirl free.

no car wash > a quick car wash.
If you can't 2 bucket method it, leave it dirty until you can wash it right.
Literally one drop of the wash mit on the driveway and being careless can
undo all that work that you paid to have done. Ask me how I know.

That's great advice. I don't usually go to carwashes, but I have a plan on one I will use when I do.

I swear I bought the car with swirls on it, which makes me feel dumb.

Naw dude...

even with the best intentions...black is brutal. Acura black was the worst.
That's why I say...find a place that hand washes and knows the 2 bucket method
and what you just paid to have done to the car. If they don't understand it, leave it
dirty.

Or just read up on properly maintaining a sealed car and be vigilant.

Does a full correction and sealing application run about $1200?
I have no idea.
