Pimp My Ride: Painting the Car! Part 3. First fail...
<br />

<br />

### Hey! How are you? HF20 has made you sad? Then let's move to my garage to distract from HF!

<br />

<br />

#### I bought the fenders! What could be easier than repainting it? I repainted the doors before that! Fenders are smaller! Painted in one color... but I got a bad surprise.

<br />

#### The store where I made the order, made a mistake and sent me the wrong pigment. RAL 5005 instead RAL 5002... The photos are made with a difference of three days... well, I painted and left to dry for three days. That it is not the right color, I found out only after drying, when I returned to the garage :) And you know what? I'm happy with this protective coating! As the manufacturer indicates, the process of complete polymerization lasts 20-40 days (depending on temperature and humidity), but even after three days, it took me a great effort to remove this layer.

<br />

<br />

#### One of the fenders is repainted in the color I need.

<br />

<br />

<br />

#### Plastic... just black... there were no surprises.

<br />

<br />

<br />

### So, while everything goes with minimal errors, at least on my part :) In the near days, I will replace the front doors and fenders with those that I painted... let's see how it all looks on the car!

<br />

<br />

### My expenses for this part:

* Fenders - $ 32
* Pigment RAL 5002 (100 grams) - $ 15
* Consumables (sandpaper, solvent, degreaser) ~ $ 10

<br />

### Grand Total ~ $ 632

<br />

<br />

Sincerely, Terry Craft.
