This will be my step by step driveway strip and paint thread. This may not be the way everyone will do it, but this is the way I will do mine. If you like it, you can do it this way also. If not, then you can take it to a body shop and pay $3k to $5k for a paint job. You could also do different variations and run the cost up. I will post what I spend on this entire process. Some have said its like hitting your self in the head with a hammer, ok, this will be my first smack in the head.
First shot, before. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Indecently, the stripper is neutralized in water so when you get all done, hose the car off really well. If you let the stripper stay on too long, it will start to harden and will be difficult to remove. So keep a wet rag handy to wipe off the car when you are done with that panel. I am only doing the door and the rear quarter this round. Tomorrow I will do the front fender and hood and the other front fender. If I get on a roll, I may get the whole car done. Then I get to do the body work. The rear deck is being replaced and the sail panels will be stripped and painted to match the car. Which is why I didn't remove them. I will be removing them tomorrow along with all the other removable parts like trim and lenses.
