About a year and a half ago, I stripped the car for body and paint. all the way to the metal.
I was a HUGE process since it was the first time I had ever done that type of work. sand and fill, sand and fill. I have MAD respect for the body and fender guy's. I still have some work to do, like the front and rear valences, rockers and interior. The Teener came out great. For the rist time in a year and a half, I got to drive it yesterday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Did a 40 round trip to Bass pro in Manteca. Man! it was a great feeling! All the old smells of the teener, you know, fuel, exaust, all the quirks..HAHA, It was like hooking up with a model, looks great on the outside but bitchy and emotional inside..LOL Actually the car ran great! Yep it was a good feeling PICS. TO FOLLOW |

So nice. Are you doing the rockers, ect in the body color too or black? I like the idea of letting the clear sit for a while and shrink back, but it makes for harder sanding. I am worried about the omni going on after you let the car sit. The are specific open windows on time between coat for the best adhesion. They ate closer to 10 to 30 minutes between coats nattering what layer it is. At this point, time will tell us how important thw window is
