Back to basics...(pix)

Alright, so I'm gettin my car down to primer because the paint was badly oxidized anyways, and my cousin is moving up here this summer and he can help me with a paint job. He has his own body shop in California. So yeah, gettin it down the primer, and dealing with it looking like crap for right now, so that I'll be closer to gettin that paint job. Also, now I can start on my next project...a taillight swap...we'll see how that goes, and I'll definetely get pics up as I'm doin it.

alright man! another one joins the primer crew hehehe :D
too bad urs isnt grey tho, ah well
looks good so far tho
how long did it take?

it dont look bad at all dude, good job with the work your doing.

What colour are you going to paint it!?
When!? Soon!

was that done with a spray can?

was that done with a spray can?

Yeah, is it that obvious? It looks horible to me, but then again, I"m no pro so what else could I expect?

looks good but i got a tip for you. you REALLY should not tape of the headlights, taillights etc. You should just remove them. They are simple to remove. Also, that way, you can primer behind them which is a good idea cuz most likely the body shop will remove them when they paint ur car.

must've taken a whole lot of elbow grease to sand that puppy down.

Yes being the loyal fried I am, I sanded the shit out of that car, and my arm sure felt it. OK so I didn't really do it for him but it looks like its comin along nice Josh :thumbsup:

rock on with your bad self! i do agree with taking things off compared to taping. BUT, i do have to say at least you are taping things off. there are people out there who don't bother. look at this idiot's rattle can job *cough*TJ*cough*

notice all the overspray on the grill and lights :loser:

Could be worse, could have all the overspray my car has, AND it was done by a pro paint work shop, BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I was thinkin about takin things off, but taping it seemed easier, so I just taped the hell out of everything. I need to do the passenger side doors and roof now, but other than that, its coming along decent. Not as great as I'd hoped, but then again, not as bad as it could be, so I cant complain I guess.

it really doesnt look that bad man. All the close up shots you have look good, don't see any runs or anything. Primer can only look but so good.

Im my eyes, GOOD JOB!
