lolz my dad told me he was gonna do the whole thing while i drive his truck to go get lunch. fair enough. im painting the spoiler and gas lid though. we missed it yesterday. all my fault. but im liking the spoiler-less look.
as far as the paint. i bought my paint at a local shop. Napa auto store. dont know if its also station up in the mainland. the sold me cross/fire paint. i wanted the deepest black they got and they gave me. this paint called "mid-night coach black" i have to go back and get the clear and................possibly a gold pearl to put between clear coats ![]() -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

lolz yeah sure no probs 6strngs **edit April 13th, 2008 - 8:09 PM**
gun is a sharpe 1.4mm i think ( $450 ) took me 6hrs. a day for 8 days of sanding and body work. last block on the 8th day was final prepping. 9th day Primer and PAINT!! used glazing putty for the small dings and used body filler (light weight filler) for the rear quarter damage i didnt know was there. i used 120 4 sheets for the bondo'd area with a bondo cutter 220 15 sheets to sand down some rust spots and dings used 320 3 sheets to sand down the spots where i used glazing putty. also used 320 (re-used paper) for the 1st stage of wet sanding the whole body then i went over again with the wet sanding with 400 10 sheets , total cost of sand paper was about $60 be prepared to spend alot of time doing the body work and wet sanding the body. then i went over with 600 2 sheets to match the body worked are with the rest of the body to make everything even. i bought 1 gallon of paint - $95 i think it was 1/2 gallon paint reducer - $35 and 1 quart paint hardener. - $20 with 2 quarts primer - $25 per quart so $50 **note i bought more than needed only cuz im putting 4 coats of color** the pics you see is only 2 layers, sorry i dont have a better camera to take close ups of the minor "orange peel" spots. then i went ahead and bought 5 10ft. x 20ft. plastic to cover my garage (on sale for $15 a bundle, original price $32). of course staples $5 and 4 rolls of painters tape $12 + alot of newspaper. i bought the paint at a Napa auto store i took a pic of the paint and gun but i'll post later i just wanna get this brain info. dump out before i forget. it all cost about a good $400 ****(not including the gun)**** for the supplies, lunch $15 , drinks $6, painters mask $3( ski mask will do ), and that respirator thingy filter $35 2 pairs ( only bought the filters cuz we have 2 ). my dad invested in that water catcher ($80) that connects to the compressor hose, to of course catch any water so it doesnt mix with the paint and messes up your whole day. what else.............hmmmm i cant think of anything at the moment but if i did miss something i'll post.
