November 2007

Well, after spending several weeks prepping the doors, rear trunk lid and engine lid, I've been able to put the primer coat on.

Here's another shot of the doors.

Here's a shot of the engine lid.

Here's a shot of the rear trunk lid. I still need to sand this down, add a couple of more layers of reduced primer, then sand some more.

Well, I closed in the carport so that I could use it as a paint booth.

This shows the open end that I covered with visqueen and installed an exhaust fan.

This shows the car painted. I applied one light coat, then 2 heavier coats.

Another shot of the front.

Here's a shot of the rear.

Another shot of the rear. BTW, it takes me about (4) hours to tape off the car. I tape the paper to the floor to keep from getting paint dust on the painted suspension parts.

After letting the car dry overnight, I rolled it out into the sunshine to finish drying.

As you can see, I still have more tape to remove.

Another shot of the front.

Another shot of the rear.

Here's a close up of the rear trunk, remember, I replace the rear section of the floor.

After I moved the car outside, I hung the front and rear lids, both doors and the engine lid.

Here's a shot of the rear and engine lids.

Here's the front lid. I only needed to spray the outside since I had already completed the front trunk area.
