Hey everyone,
It was susposed to happen last weekend... But I found a few more blemishes that I had to fix. Anyway, 7am tomorrow morning I will be bringing the car to the shop. Totaly excited. Tonight I will be going back over the car with 400 grit wet and making SURE that I didnt miss anything. The car will be getting a 3-stage system consisting of base, color, & clear. I am going to find out how much it will cost to get an extra coat of clear thrown on.

I will probably spend a few hours tomorrow with the body shop manager talking about what will be done & not done. There were a few issues I had with the first round of paint & I dont want the same things to happen again. Plus, I need to show him the rust that I need repaired. I will probaby make a list up tonight so I dont forget to go over anything tomorrow.

Since Macco is going the spraying, I am sure I will have it back before the end of the week. I will get some pics tomorrow morning of the car just before I drop it off. Of course I will post them the first chance I get.

 

Wow - Your doing what looks like a really great job thus far. I am really anxious to see what it looks like when it get painted!

Good job and keep us posted!

 

hows it all coming along?

 

Dropped it off early saturday morning. They said it should be done by Friday. I am stopping by everyday after work to see the progress. I will keep you guys updated.

Heres what the plan is:

(1) Primer
(1) Sealer
(1) Basecoat
(2) Clear

They use all dupont paints.
