Today I dropped the car off at the painter. He will be finishing/touching up the body work I've done. The next step will be to hand it back to me and I'll finish off the door jams and color/clear them myself, followed by a 400 grit wet sand of the body. Finally, back to the painter for color then clear.

This is a big day after almost 2 years on and off of prepping the car for this!

Where are you getting your car painted? I'm looking to get mine done and I live nearby.

Ask for Dennis.

Phase 2 begins today! He's done with the minor finish work on the body. I'm taking it back to wet sand and spray the door jams myself. Phase 3 will be back to him for the final color/clear!!!

Blocking is hard work, but the dry guide coat helped a ton!

Congrats with your progress on getting your ride back in shape. I remember that day when your car got into a little bump.

Also, thanks for sharing the shop that your using....if it's good for you, I'm going to use them if I need some painting services too.
Enjoy Your day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Great progress!
Dennis does nice work. He did my friend's yellow bahama 68 911 (bad picture).
I'm hoping I can have him paint my project car at some point...
Good luck for the rest of your project.

My favorite color for a SWB 912 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I was amazed at how many Bahama Yellow So Cal 912s (on the 912 BBS) there are. Several of them are real local to me.

Painted and cleared the jams and the corresponding part of the doors today. Now I need to block the body one last time and then back to the painter.

Nice job! You're on the home stretch now. Delphi is a great color.

Hopefully third prime is the charm. Get it? Get it…
