nice
i love fixing up fugly rusty parts
i did that to my wiper arms, wiper motor, inner cowl
still want to do door frame and other black parts that look fgly
good job
I fixed up my inner cowl the other day too. I hate body work but I like the easy touch up stuff. I took off the cowl, cleaned off the surface crap and sprayed silver rust paint inside. Turned out good. Also repainted the cowl, mirrors, antenna and mirrors.

Drums look good. I'll have to do it to mine, they're pretty new, but turned crappy looking pretty fast.

When I clicked on this thread I was preying that you didn't paint them yellow or red for that matter. Black is very clean and understated. I bead blasted mine put a clear on them, which also looks good. Congrats!

I always laugh when I see guys with brightly painted brake drums, its like "Hey look at me, I have a ****ty breaking system!"


The black looks great though

I bet it will, I have a bunch of spots on my trim to repaint, I mean, the car could use an entire repaint, the car looks good from 5 feet, but up close, there are flaws. could use a new hood, has a fiberglass 2 or 2.5 inch cowl, but I want a cervinis lol

but then again, what fox doesnt have flaws except for maybe cleanfittys and Almost stock's lol
