Well, this the weekend I've been waiting for for over 6 months, putting paint back on the car. I put plastic sheet on the exposed walls of the carport to creat a paint booth. I then taped up the car's exterior panels, except the front trunk and front fenders.
Just to get everyone up to speed, I have stripped the paint from the engine compartment, after replacing the right suspension ear and the engine shelf on that side. I also removed the back pad and glue. I then removed the tar from the passenger compartment floor, the glue behind the back pad, then the seam-sealer and all of the paint. Finally, I removed the seam-sealer and all of the paint from the rear trunk. Here's a shot of the outside, before painting. 1 of 7 Attached image(s) |

First off, thanks to everyone for their positive comments. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Unless you have done any repair/prep/painting of the interior sections, you can't imagine the amount of time involved. All of this was done using a suction, quart-size spray gun, WITHOUT a rotissorie. Barry, this is the original Bahia Red, L30E. I used the Omni paint products... |
