Update: 4/24/09

Well if you worked or know of body work it can be time consuming and my car had so much little dents it took almost 3 hours just to do the door but here is what i did today .

Got the driver side door done and the whole side will be done tomorrow . the primer spots was where the dents were see there was allot .




And back home i decided to finish up what i started with the rear speaker cover and dyed the plastic speaker covers SEM SFB .




Sorry for the little update the body work takes time if you want it perfect .

it's a 2 stage base coat clear coat water base "JET BLACK" it needs it's final buff and that is when the whole car is together why do you ask ? and it's easy to tell a single stage from a 2 stage . I owned my body shop since a graduated college so it's pretty easy to tell especially with the new WATER BASE paints that are issued to use now .
