Quick post before bed. Its almost 2 am here now and I have to get up for work at 7... I wanted to get the two coats of primer and two coats of paint done today though, so here's some more pics.

All scuffed down with a scotchbrite pad


The shrouds came out perfect after the trimming. No marring around the edges.


After two coats of primer


And two coats of paint! (paint is still drying here, you can see how on the edges its a more satin black as its cured up in some areas and still wet in others)



I also mounted the ballasts and ran all the wiring today. I used 3m double sided tape to tuck the ballasts way out of the way of the flip up lights right up inside the rad support. You can't see them really from the engine bay now. I used a large ziptie on each side to hold ensure it stays put against the 3m tape.
