Perhaps this will help. This is basically what I did with my Sport Coupe.

Mike, where on LI are you located? I found your write-up pretty helpful and may attempt to prep my car for paint as well.

West Babylon. I'm usually on DPA on Friday and Saturday night. Usually in Sears or Starbucks. Just look for a bunch of cars with "www.100percentstock.com" stickers.

You're welcome to chill with us, join our carclub if you want, but sadly, the car I did all this work on I sold about 2 months ago.

No, I sold the Sport Coupe that I worked on because I bought a black IROC However I don't have 100Percentstock stickers on it yet because I have some stains on my windshield I want to take care of first.
