Unveiling The Wheel Wells

I started today by making a close-up inspection of all four wheel wells to look for spots I missed. I noticed in the driver side rear wheel well there was some cracking over top of the area I retreated with POR-15.

I also noticed I missed a small spot along the inner lip.

I also missed a huge patch underneath the fuel door opening. I was trying to avoid spraying this area too much, for fear of it spraying through the paper. I think that is why I missed this area yesterday.

Moving on to the passenger side rear wheel well, I again missed a strip on the inner lip.

Both front wheel wells looked fine, so I went to work touching up the spots/cracks on the rear wells.

The color in these pictures still look dark gray. It is a matte black.

Sara and I put all four tires and the front fenders back on.

Here is the driver side wheel well with no flash. You can see how black it is in the wheel well.

This is the driver side rear wheel well and tire. I have not been able to capture the true color with the camera, but I think the color in these next two pictures is probably pretty close to the true color.
