Hey hey hey! Soo one of my recent project was to fix the rust behind my headlights & to paint my mufflers black before the show on last Saturday (pic thread soon to come). So yeah after hours upon hours of detailing my car after working 7-3 earlier that day, I finally did it.
I can't find any before pics at the moment from the lil bit of rust developing behind the headlights but I got a couple after pics while the spots were drying...first I popped the headlights out & took a pic of it bcuz I thought it looked funny lol busted my knuckle open trying to get one of the headlight brackets off. Hurt like hell & is still kinda bruised.

Used rust converter for now...eventually I may get back there & paint it black to match the car but no one really sees that so I'm not worried about it at the moment


Then I moved onto the mufflers. I was quickly running outta daylight...
Before...



Then Ryan pulled up in his green stang & started to take pics of the process lol

Taped off the tips

Used rust converter first on parts of it

I absolutely look fabulous in these pics...NOT! I was sweat & gross!


Crazy smile with red eyes!!!!!

It was extremely hard to do this since my car is so low & I couldn't really see what I was spraying lol

Random pics of the cars Ryan took lol


Drying time...







&& thats all I got for now. I'll try to take some pics of them from the back during the car show tomorrow if it doesn't get rained out =(
