Hey guys,
So, the paint is done… im still exhausted from the whole process so take a look at pics and enjoy.
The job was ok, nothing spectacular, nor up to show quality… however, on a serious budget, with the help of 2 friends, and about 3 hrs of a painters time the car went from rust bucket to rust free over the course of 4 full days.
The prep work was great, and I was very pleased, but the painter rushed the job and the result was a few drips in the clearcoat on the front bumper, as well as his stupid ass letting some punk open the door to the paint bay when he was clearing the car. Because of that, some sediment settled in the top layer of the clearcoat and seriously frustrated me… but, to the uncritical eye, its alot better than it was, for a wickedly budget project.
Eventually I am going to shell out some dough and have a really nice job done… but as a functional daily driver and potential track car (post SR) it will work for now. So go easy on the critisism…my nerves are shot from the whole project, haha.
Oh yea, some pics from earlier on in the prep stages will be coming once i get them sent over to me… i didnt have my camera untill she was basically ready for paint.
Thanks to simplemind7 and sidewayz240 for some of the parts… a little jimmy-rig and they all fit.
NOTE: Rims came with the car… waiting to swap to 5-bolt to broaden my horizons.
Cheers
