I was just wondering if anyone here has painted their own 914. I recently took a stab at painting my wifes' 91 honda. I did the roof and the front hood. Came out pretty good after sanding down the clear coat and buffing. I figure, since I am doing a color change on my 914, I would practive on the insides of the trunks and such. Then, if I felt confident enough, I could try painting the outside.

Semi-pro, never painted a teen but painted many a bug. I have all the pro equipment.
It's all in the prep work (and pro materials) but the last few cars that I have needed done, I've traded engine/machine work for the job. It takes me to long to prep a car, that's why I didn't do it myself. That said, I've done bugs, so painting my teen wouldn't scare me. |
