What are you doing RIGHT NOW.

[ndv]

@nicklesndimes  is it just me, or does the bottom of the 'L' tapper?  It looks wider midway thru at the bottom than the top.

 

Not trying to call you out.

[nicklesndimes]

yeah i think i see it. but it doesn't really bother me. it's solid. thanks again man.

[ndv]

ok I am curious, why did it splotch like that on the other side?  The stencil pulling paint?

 

If you can re-do, try removing wetting the mask with water first, like after the paint is dry, pour water on the mask then slowly remove it.

Did you paint it silver or white?  It looks silver (like brushed aluminum)  on my end which looks really good against the blue.

this is the exact can i used(it's called bright coat chrome):

all in all, i'm generally happy how it came out. i potentially could redo the fuzzy side, but it'd take a lot out of me to completely sand and repaint, restamp that side just for a little slop. as tempting as it is to tryn perfect it... i'm just going to stick w/ perfectly imperfect in this case(plus i ran out of stencil, it was tricky to understand for a beginner and there was some waste to start out w/).

 

again, absolutely a major solid was done. thank you.

Well, just let me know if you want to restencile it when that time comes.  You know we're to find me.

So sick. A friend of mine works for AEW and I wanted to ask him to get me something signed by Sting, but I didn’t. #sadface

You missed a chance to get Ultimate Warrior's tag team partner to sign something for you? Opportunity lost.

I am on the train heading to the beach to take advantage of the endless summer we are having here.

 

Plus given I have an oustanding fine from parking there overnight, best to take the stealth option today to avoid getting towed.

 

 

[Schnitzel]

looking up parts  for the hyundai 130 2009 model we have and have decided to sell.

it's got very low kilometres so I think we might be able to snag a couple grand for it.

 

 Just annoying shit to fix.

The gas struts holding up the hatchback

The windscreen trim on the right hand side.

wondering if i drop a grand to fix these various things that will give it more appeal and maybe add a couple grand to selling price. And get it detailed thoroughly.

 

wife is out driving it due to it having flat battery.

so I'm oontzing.

I would not invest any money into it if you plan on selling it unless that investment is necessary to get the car running. “Maybe add a couple of grand to selling price” is a big maybe and maybe will not become reality.

 Iwas going to sell it for a grand but looking at cars of similar vintage with much more mileage the average price is about 5-7  grand.

 

 total cost of components to 100% add is about $170.00

Maybe a mobile mechanic for oil change/make it go brrrrrrmmm better

and a detailer to hide my wife's best parking efforts.

 

you're most probably right. @LUGR

 

 

[LUGR]

If it’s just $170 of materials I would consider doing it. That’s not bad.

 

I thought you were talking about some heavier coin.

You going to wash your hands after or naw?

[Mauler5150]

The gas struts were one of the first things to go on My 2012 Veloster and is a shitty job you are best to pay someone to do.

 

Never sold a car in My life so no other advice to add.

 

Now I am heading to the van from the beach as the water was way too cold for Me to swim and the weather isn't as hot as it has been.

[Tails0nE]

Just left work like 10 minutes ago.. grabbed an Uber cause fuck taking the train.. mainly got an Uber because my manager approved my shift pick up at the very last second so I'll be bartending all day long tomorrow, 1130am-1230am.. wish me luck on sleep tonight guise..

[MOOGLE?]

bout to fire up the psvr2 and do some 420 no mans sky alien planet wandering.

 

but also...dont buy a psvr2 cause there's like no fucking games for it and the damn thing isnt backward compatible with ps4 vr games.....no tilt brush or dreams .

upside is its about to be unlocked to use on pc this year 

[Tails0nE]

@MOOGLE? see I really wanted to get that psvr2 ever since I finally played around with my sons occulus but thats the exact reason why I didn't pull the trigger.. barely any games for it.. plus fuck spending another 5 or 6 bills on it after I spent the exact same amount on the console itself.. nah fam... 

 

I'm sure no man's sky is pretty fucking awesome on there tho..
