When i got it



The car a little cleaned up

 

I knew the very first thing i wanted to do is paint, kinda suckedbecause it was winter but ohh well, So me & dad started to prep the car.

Then the sanding began

 

why did you tape off the tail lights? you know that it probably took more time to tape them off than if you removed them?

 

Is it dropped?

 

Mr nicholas - Taping off the tail lights wasn't time consumming at all

Shadoweghatchy - yeah it's dumped on eibach coilovers

 

In the mean time of sanding i had picked up some rota torques and neo chrome lugnuts

 

proper prep work means removing such things as tail lights etc. good luck with that paint job then.

 

Not bad bro i cant wait to see your hatch with its new paint job and rims.

 

Great start. GL with the build & I was 15 when I first got my hatch.

 

Nice build dude and Good Luck with build
its good to see another 16 years old doing a build haha

 

should really remove the tail lights

 

wat color are u painting it?

 

Good start man, just remember to take your time when you a modifying your car, it will pay off in the end.

 

So, More sanding come's into play


Then primer comes quick


After being safe of 2 days of drying of primer this is the final product


So, having a good visual of the primer, i was getting anxious for the paint, we clean the booth and clean the car, then prep it for paint
