Thought it would be no big deal to put back the alignment and corner balance that is booked for Tuesday as the rest of the new suspension parts won't be arriving until Wednesday .
Figured I had plenty of time until the second last weekend of the month when it's booked for an ax ......
Then looked in the diary at work to book a day off !!!
Well , some people are idiots on the internet , and some people are idiots in real life .
I'm proud to say I'm both

An update on this ....
I sent a text this morning at 5:30 and I'm taking today off .
I'll get all this on , then will have to go back to it when the LCAs and rear arms arrive .
Ups tracking is saying there may be delays due to California wildfires .....
Its not so much bad planning , as I had it all planned to perfection , just bad timing as I didn't know what date it was

Realized it was a better vehicle to transport an argon cylinder (I weld aluminum as a hobby) than my Mazda CX-5. The cylinder fit nicely in the front trunk, just right side to side, with a couple of bottles of windshield wash in front of it to keep it from rolling. In the Mazda it rolls and slides all over the place on braking, acceleration and turns. Perfectly still in the Boxster, and a lot more fun drive.
Lesson learned: A Boxster can be more practical than an CUV!

Cambria
Took a drive to Cambria for lunch, I can't believe the Jägermobile got the #1 parking spot in front of Linn's restaurant today (love their food).
Also a few Hot Rods running the streets and putting on a colorful show:

Well, I've contemplated black plastidip with lapis blue. After seeing Dlirium's post, I made a trip to home depot for 4 cans. On the advice of a couple of locals, I didn't take my wheels off. I wish that I had, but I think that it's worked out.
I did 5 coats with 3 cans. I'm going to double check it one more time tomorrow, and then apply the glossifier.
Earlier this week I replace my center wheel caps with cheapos off of ebay, and yesterday I replaced the worn out three button pad on my key fob.

be very careful with the glossifier. It drips real easy and if you apply it too heavy, it leaves this foggy unclear look.

Wow, I'm glad that I checked in here first! I got the hang of light coats by the end, but definitely ended up with thicker spots with the black. I'll definitely go light coats with the glossifier.

as far as the base/black, if you get any runs/drips you can just gently pat it down with a towel with a bit of lacquer thinner on it and then keep spraying.

Worked all night so I ended up just staying home today for memorial day, so I decided to paint my center console(body match color/gloss black).
Not half bad for rattle can work :/ . Really liked the results, so planning out which pieces next when I have free time.
