So I'm planning on giving my car in on Monday. I won't be doing any of the body or sanding prep but I will be taking off tons of parts to try to save money.

My question is what should I take off (to either save money or prevent overspray)?

Oh yeah, I'm not getting the inside painted, just the outside, the door jambs and the hatch area and a little of the engine compartment.

So far I will take off:

- All ground effects
- 2 Wheel wells (that big black piece on the inside where the tires are)
- Side molding and the sticky glue that's left over after
- Spoiler? (I have a 91 Z28)
- Parking lights, fog lights, headlights and license plate area
- Back tail lights
- Door locks
- Door handles
- Headliner
- Camaro front emblum
- Inside trim near doors?
- side markers
- Front spoiler (the lowest part in the very front - part of the ground effects I think. Mine's cracked and I have a new one anyway)

What about the area inside the gas tank door?
Anything else I'm missing?
- radio antenea??
Recommendations?

Thanks!!

 

I would add side view mirrors and the outside window sweep, that black rubber strip along the top of the door, against the glass.

 

I was think the same idea. for my 92. Is it easyer for the body shop or will thay bitch an say its easyer if those parts are on the car?
