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.

End of 2nd day results. My goal is to have this thing in primer by the weekend. Work permitting. This is the end of the day after one whole application over most of the car. The passenger side is the one I started yesterday so it has 2 applications with the exception of the front fender. I did everything but the headlights and lower front. Tomorrow is another day. Its a lot like work, I had forgotten what it took to do it last time. This is a nasty reminder. The fumes are terrible, the stuff splatters on your arms and hands and you realize it pretty quick. Tomorrow I will remove the wipers and fog and horns and do the rest and then go over the whole car again and then with a wire brush and then start sanding the whole car. Once that is done I will start taking dents out. Oh fun.
