MY bodywork thread, from start to finish Options

[Batman722]

when I bought this car away back it had been repainted by the previous owner and it was a hack job. The color was custom so it was difficult for me to match for the skirts/extensions and the guy didn't really feel like sanding the car before painting it so there were a lot of spots where the paint was just chipping right off the car

so let's start with the pics

getting it sanded

I stripped everything off the car (spoiler, bumper, mirrors, moldings) and brought it over to a friend's new house. A guy who sands car at a Maaco came to do some sanding and fix a couple small dings. Thanks Hector















next here are some shots of it at the shop and in the booth

they sanded the chip gaurd off the doors



and fixed some cracks in the skirts





getting taped off





and a few shots of the base with no clear







first coat of clear





and the second coat of clear

and some pics of the emblems I went with





and the finished product. The color is Steel Blue Metalic (Chrysler PBQ). Blue in some light, gray in others.

















I still need to get it wet sanded and buffed for a glass like finish.

and who painted it ?

a crazy greenhorn named presure2 painted my car.

He laid the paint and clear down smooth and he did an impressive job. There is no one else I would feel comfortable with painting my car, I am still in shock every time I walk outside and see it.

Thank you Hector, and thank you Manny (presure2)
