Fixed (well, covered up) the ugly bare mirrors behind my visors. Made another video...

a bit of touchup

I took out the rock chips in my front bumper with a bit of touch up paint. Spent about an hour in all, pretty happy with the results.

I had planed to have the whole car detailed / polished on Monday, but had to cancel due to schools being closed for quarantine. Will be rescheduling the detail soon as I can. Hope is that any unevenness from my touch up paint will be taken out in the polish / detail.

Once it is all done I will post the end results.

After:


Sorry about the lighting difference the sun was going down when I took the last one.

Yesterday I installed my BK rollbar extension, as I hopefully have a 1 day track event at Lime Rock. I knew the BK fits with the rollbar installed, but wasn't sure if I could install the BK with the hardtop on, which I had to do since there was no one around to assist me in removing it. Well, it's not the easiest way to install the BK, but it can be done with the hardtop in place!

Where did you get the touch up paint? Looks good.

Paint looks to be a perfect match. If you don't see your color listed on their site change the filter to show all models and not just boxsters.

I followed the ammonyc video here using the special touch-up tool he used. Works really well.https://youtu.be/Uz-zW-cLdUs
