02 Base for my son

[Tonyrodz]

Wanted to see if I could cut and polish out the scratches on the hood. I’ve been meaning to do this for some time now. Those car washes that aren’t touch-less really do a number on your paint. I wash the crap out of my vehicles, especially in the winter.
First, I just wanted to do a test to see if the scratches could be buffed out.

Not really! It helped but didn’t do anything for the scratches. You can see how much it brought the color back! Damn it, now I gotta keep going.

At this point I’m not even gonna polish. Cutting helped but didn’t help the scratches. I’m gonna have to wet sand the entire hood and then polish it out. As long as I don’t get into color while sanding, I should be ok. If I hit color, then I’ll have to just do a full repaint on hood. I should have enough base and clear if I have to go that way. Prefer not.

Finally got the CHMSL wired in. I lost a diode in the factory one and the end lights went out on the right side.

Hell no! The diodes were in the factory light that went out. I’m not separating this thing again!
This was the factory light right before I hooked up the new light.
