It looked great initially but it did become dull and yellowed again within a year - looking back on it - it would've been easier to sand it back and then spray some 2K clear coat on it - I ended up subbing them out anyway for the sleeker look of the DEPOs and to get rid of the orange reflector stripe - hoping to do something a bit more custom in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to do a full refurb sometime! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did mine 3 years ago and still crystal except where my PPF came off at the corner 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaneDylan Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 To finish up the wrap I needed to address the rust on the drivers rear arch First cutting out the plagued section Cleaning up the metal Welding in new sheet Filler to refine the shape and smooth it Prime Paint Clear Not bad for a DIY job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaneDylan Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 It is with a heavy heart that I'm posting this - on the way home from the rust repair - I aquaplaned into a bank and rolled the car. I've spent 4 years building this car and I can't believe it's gone now. I keep being reminded how lucky I am to have walked away from this alive but it's hard to feel lucky when I've lost something this important to me. I'm constantly reminded it's just a car but to me it was so much more. Suffice to say this is the end of this build thread. RIP Purp (I'd ask that anyone reading this remain respectful and keep any hurtful comments to yourself). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
