Well here is the very first thing wrong with my car minus the nasty honda rot....
The pervious owner thought it would be cool to "shave" the side molding by sticking bondo in their. Yea bad idea, because it looked like shit, would rub on the front fende when you open the door, ect. So....
I grinded all that shit out.
So this is how it looked (minus these wheels) before it went into my make-shit paint booth...
So I sanded and sanded, and masked and masked, to get it ready for surface primer (sorry, couldn't find my camera during that stage, thus no pics)
Here is kinda a pic of some of the masking...
Safety first...
Primer time....
Since these pics (earlier this morning) I have put 2 more coats of primer on them, and right now I am about to go out and sand the whole thing down smooth to get ready for the primer sealer. After that, it will be time for paint. Since I am a cheap muther fucker going to college, I couldn't afford much so, the entire paint system that I am using is Duplicolor paint. It is all real paint (as in non spray can, comes in gallons, and you have to do all the reducing and all that) and as I said in another post, they have
6 colors to chose from, including Revin Red, Dark blue matalic, Silver Mist Matalic, Lighter blue (called like blue ocean or something like that) Fleet White, and maybe black? Paint is 40-50 a gallon@murray's autoparts/pepboys/autozone vs the 250 for championship white at sherwin williams. Primer and reducers are all really cheap too. All paint materials cost me around 120, however, found i need to buy more reducer since I have to use that to clean my gun.
I chose to go with fleet white since white is the best color to hide imperfections in painting skills, body quality, ect.
Anyways, more pics to come.
