So I applied the KBS BlackTop Chassis Paint over some of the rust shield. The rust shield product is not UV-resistant, so it needs another coat of this. Yeah. I know. The parts are under the car. But I also hoped to smooth out some of my shoddy brush work. I continued working on some…

Murbella – Day 32 – My injectors arrived back!
