Darth Maximus Touchup

Wow! An honest to goodness project fer the Project page! It’s about damned time.

Darth Maximus has an ugly ass hood. After years of sun, snow, tree sap and bird poo it was very fugly.

I’d heard about the Dupli-Color Shield product, a spray on bug and chip shield I have been dying to test. I didn’t think Red would be too happy if I used her Ride for a guinea pig so when Darth M and his mile wide hood came along…

When the thermometer wandered above 50 degrees (minimum recommended temp on the can) I leaped into action and prepped the patient. I warmed up the engine for that extra degree or two.

It all went smoothly. Big difference, huh?

And the finished product.

This job took the entire can. Even though the finish is flat, it goes on thick enough to cover the imperfections on the hood’s surface. I think it looks great.

Supposedly the shield will stand up to rain and snow, bugs and small rocks. To remove it I’ll need either scrubbing with soap and water or a pressure washer. Let’s see how it does this winter.

My very first project

Will be figuring out how to post multiple pictures nice and neat.

Under Construction

I have lots of projects and plans rattling around upstairs, like beans in a coffee can. I'll push my internet skills to their meager limits posting pictures and details here.

If nothing else, it should be good for a laugh.
