or acetone, but yea brake cleaner is good
ok so i sprayed some sealer on the bumper to get it one color and go from there, apparently i ****** with my paint guns settings last time i used it and the spray pattern was like a stream instead of a fan lol so neadless to say before i could realize it i got like 1 small run on the bottom of the bumper
already sanded that bad boy out and tomm im ready for paint
i also installed my oil pressure gauge and adapter
disconnected the battery while i was wiring it up and when i turn my car on, i have a CeL!
im not sure why i have it, car drives fine but whenever im idling it tries to die but doesnt, just stays at 1-200 rpm and bumps around
might have to go to autozone and get the code read tomm
i have a header with the spark plug non fouler deal and maybe that is it?
i was looking at vacuum hoses too and on of them is cracking a little bit so maybe thats it..idk ill have to take a look when its light out

yea once but i dont think thats the problem, cuz before i disconnected the battery it wasnt doing it and didnt have a CEL
and the ONLY think i messed with was the oil filter when i put the adapter plate on and changed oil
ill try to take a look at that tomm too

ok well front bumper is painted have to color sand a bit tomm,
CEL went away after i rest the ecu and installed the vac block so i guess it was that cracked hose
the vac block is just hooked up in a loop right now, since i dont have a WG or BOV to hook it up too yet lol
but anybody know what the average oil pressure is? my car is between 60 to 80 driving and like 40 i think at idle....sound right?

No you have to drill a couple new holes in the fenderwells. Just try to measure it out right to go through the plastic. It's really your bumper. You'll see what I'm talking about when it's time to mount it.

no not really at all
i sprayed all the dust out with air through my paint gun, then closed one garage door and left the other one cracked with a fan blowing towards it
im surprised actually, i painted a few things in there and this is the first time i had no noticable dirt
i need to work on spraying the clear though, i always get orange peel and it pisses me off so much that i have to sand it out lol

yea i havent had a run yet, thank god lol
u have any tips on how to spray clear smoothly?
i can do it some times but i honestly think it was too humid when i was painting
like when i painted my hood, the orange peel was ridiculous on it but when i painted my bike, there was almost none
