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 kindasad.gif

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
