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    -------------------- |
