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.

Here's the passenger compartment. I bought some wiring looms to wrap around the wires to keep them from being painted and to help hold them out of the way.

Here's the 'money' shot, we have RED paint. I applied 2 coats of color paint. I took me 2 days from start to finish.

Less is FASTER.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) and so is RED....... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)
