heres the pics of #354's doors and hood getting paint.






I hate all these rock chips they really do a job on the paint, I think this car was daily driven behind gravel truck on a dirt road covered in rocks it is peppered. I really wanted to get this done before next week but im not going to kill myself to make it happen.

I am using 2k primer everything I have for this job is Sherwin williams ultra 7000 series products ill have to get me some of that eastwood paint for the bottom of the hood.

Any ideas on freshening up the plastic wheel wells?

if there is undercoating or black paint on fenderwells, spray paint stripper on them and let them sit , otherwise use acrylic solvent as the stripper will make them look new, it takes a little of the deep black out of the finish.

how is this progressing along?

Ok the paint job is on hold at the moment but will return in a few months.
I have started school and It seems my 90 is one of the Vettes that had a complete paint failure, I am finding paint peeling off in areas under the weatherstripping moldings. so It will need to be completely stripped off.

So im in school for paint and refinishing so I will be able to make a better post in the future.

stay tuned this spring.

The paint failure is a real bitch I tell ya more photos coming I promise!

Yep I'll be there!

The paint is so bad on this car im not so sure Ill bring it but well see.

The plan was to have it done for carslile but the paint is so bad on this I had to add way more Hrs to sanding it getting ready for primer.

So I wanted primer on this monday and im still dealing with this crap paint job from GM.

This is today

Ok primer going in tomorrow, took a lot of time to remove the peeling paint.

Damn pain in the but. I have so much bare SMC I need to get it in primer. I'll get to the good after I get this shot. Then yank the hood off let the primer sit for a few days and get the hood done.
