My original thread is here, but figured it'd be easier to just make a new one and reference the old one. Well it was a fight, but I'm almost done, just gotta cut and buff cus I blended some areas and then paint my moldings, wing, mirrors, and front and rear lip and I'm done. Took 2 weeks total so far. Reassembly is soon!

Thanks for all the support!









Not completely done, but close enough. Just got a few minor things to touch up and I'm done!

***EDIT*** Done just gotta put rims and suspension on!!!

not bad at all!

 

why didnt you bother covering the wheels, taking the motor out and removing the rubber moldings on the door?

 

a feat i wish to perform in the future

i have a ton of respect for people that can do that stuff, basically paint and weld

 

Moldings were trash. New ones are on there now. Wheels are put on just for paint. Got a couple options on that. And engine bay is getting painted at a later date. Having no car for 2 weeks was bad enough.

 

did you paint it inside that tent?

 

 

nice booth!

 

Looks like you did a good job.

holy overspray

 

back yard paint jobs ftw looks pretty good

 

not bad for a first timer.. but damn thats alot of overspray

 

New moldings, new rims/tires, cf hood, painted bay as soon as I get the time to go over it.

 

whatever floats your boat

 

what gun/s did u use?
what brand of paint/clear?

 

good ****

 

 

sweet. though a little tape and paper would have solved your overspray issues

Looks good.

 

Lots of overspray even got a lil bit of the back window

 

what the faaaach happened to the left side quarter panel?

It looks like i can see where you might have done some body work ranging from near the taillight around the gas lid....pretty much to the door. Happens alot with lighter colors using dark primers. if that was the case atleast.

Not too bad though.


I go to school for collision repair & painting so i know whats envolved and for the facility you have it looks good.

You could have just used a bit more time prepping the car for paint.

The overly shiny part was touched up and some extra clear was shot. It's all blended in now.
