update 7/31/06
***update 7/31/06***
so i did a bit of painting today.
i cleaned the front timing chain cover:
but that would boring to leave it that raw metal so i masked off where the gaskets go:
then laid on the gold 500 degree paint
removed masking:
primered and painted my crank pulley:
primered my front bumper and hood (not pictured)
painted the bottom of my hood textured metallic black:
engine should be in next week when my stage 1 hybrid ka cam (Intake 270 duration, .443" Lift
Exhaust 272 duration, .448" Lift) and OEM style gasket set come in.

scotch pads are good for getting in those tight spots, use spot/glaze putty for any minor rockchips in it, use 320-500 grit for the final sanding before the primer, then once primer is down use 800-100 wetsand paper.
Then lay the paint evenly from one side to the other, the once it's all dried up and covered evenly, lay the clearcoat on thick and once it's dry use 1500-2000 grit and wetsand it, it'll look like glass aslong as you get the chips out.
btw, Mint project so far Ayuaddict, keep it coming!
