Pyat is Manly!

I'm painting the rear bumper of my car! Which is, you know, a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with a V8 engine. A Haunted Police Car.

I am so manly.

Now, please excuse me as I load the Hairspray soundtrack on my MP3 player...

Before and After

Starboard Stern, before.


And after.


Port Stern, before.


And after!

It's far from perfect, but it's a lot less jarring than it was before. And the cost of paint, primer, clear coat and putty was 1/25th the quoted price for professional repainting. I also did some work on the front bumper, which is not seen, mainly because a blob of primer dribbled down unseen behind the paper I'd used to block things off. And, because the paint was running out so the demarcation line between original paint and retouch is clear. But even that looks much better than before.
