Made some more progress over the weekend. Got the car wet sanded with 600 and found the few area's that need to be readressed. Got the CC plates installed
and figured out the UPR coil over kit does NOT WORK with Strange 10 way adj front struts despite what UPR say's ! Now when I get some more cash I am gonna order the Strange front coil overs. Got all the brakes done calipers painted. Straightened out my pinch welds and welded in jacking rails. Got all the rust off my subframes Por-15 those bitches than undercoated them. Replaced the front lower control arm bushings since the previous ones were installed dry and torn the F apart. Lowered the front 1/2 an inch which I think is where I am going to leave it. Cleaned up the rear inner quarters and re undercoated them. Finished plumbing my catch can setup with a drain under the car so I can leave the can in the upper fender. Popped on some MRT hood struts.

Hoping to shoot this POS next weekend fingers are crossed.
On to the pic's!!!!!





Gotta make those Chinese rotor's look good!


Before


This makes my pants feel happy!!!






Nothing real impressive but it beats moving the wheel skirt to drain it!



Can't go wrong with MRT!!!

Final choices were made........................
Base coat and stripe coat


Stripe design- We spent all day going with all different design's ghost flames,boss stripes,shelby stripes, anything you can imagine we tried. This was the final thing we tried this was also after using 10 rolls of fineline tape lol we ran out hence why the trunk stripe is a different size than the hood. The hood stripe will be the width used 3/16

Wanna see how much material actually goes into a full repaint?
Here it it and this does not include tape,sand paper,car covers and wrap paper! Oh and by the way what your looking at is close to 3k in material. Just food for thought when you all wonder why a real paint job costs so much damn money!


In the booth wrapped and waiting


After 3 coats of sealer


After 3 coats of color quick spot sands here and there




After another 4 coats of color including a leveling coat for the metallic


Color was locked down with 3 coats of clear color blender. What this allow's us to do is in the morning we can lay the stripes out on the car and mask it off with out fear of hurting the base coat. If any over spray from the candy stripes gets on the paint it can be sanded off with out fear since it will be sitting on the clear color blender not the base coat itself.





Tomorrow morning the stripes will be done than the car will be cleared! Then Thursday morning the car will be bock sanded and re cleared! And all of you thought this was easy lmao

All taped up and ready to go!!!



After the base for the pearl blue was sprayed and marbelized and faded in on the sides so it looks solid around the marble.




4 coats of the pearl blue



Un masked and remasked ready for clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Clear baby!!!! this is 4 coats today. Tomorrow the hood and deck lid get taken off the car to be block sanded with 800-1000 to nock the stripes down then the hood and deckild get recleared with another 3 coats wet sanded and buffed. This take's all the orange peel out that you see and makes the panel even so it looks like a piece of glass with the stripes buried deep inside





The sea of parts that need to be sprayed in the morning

So more Progress and I'll be there all weekend putting the car back together! Got the whole car wet sanded and buffed out. Every piece that was painted was wet sanded with 1500, than 2000,compounded and glazed. The hood and the deck lid were flat sanded then re cleared when we brought them out side in the sun we decided that the blue needed to be darker. The panels were then brought back into the booth re sanded with 1000 re taped and then 4 more coats of blue pearl and 4 more coats of clear were applied. The finish is absolutley fuc&ing ridiculous pictures do not do this any justice at all. It's silly just fuc&ing silly how deep the stripes look ! Monday morning the hood and decklid get wet sanded with 1500,2000,Than 3000 and compounded and glazed!







The grid pattern you see in the following pics is actually the ceiling filter's in our paint booth!






Summer of 2012 It's coming and it's pissed!
