Hello folks!
I’m in the planning phase of painting my teener. The car is very original but it has a dull non original top coat (silver), hence I’m contemplating how far I shall disassemble the car. I’m planning to go down to bare metal for the new paint. However, the inside of the body, trunk’s inside and door seals have great looking original paint that I want to preserve. What’s the forums experience/verdict? Paint assembled or build stands for the doors and remove trunks to paint them off the body? Thanks! PS: i do plan on removing the windshield. |
