Paint job process has begun

[kelly saad]

Cleaned the paint, Mostly sanded, cleaned again, and cleaned again. Found all the dents and dings, ground down to metal and applied filler. Changed my game plan, going to paint jambs and everything all at once. I will hang doors on my wall with a tarp behind them. Then I can shoot them and I don’t have to do two separate paint days.

You are wrong, I am one stressed out dude. I thought HIH was in 2 weeks when I started. Then I realized.

Here's a quick hijack for inspiration:

Its wonderful what a 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear coat can do.

Keep at it! I've never done a whole 100 series before, but I admire your ambition and will to see it through.

Thanks! Good job on that bumper. I was just sanding body filler at 9:30pm.

Bodywork near complete. Roof is stripped of those rubber runner thingys, sanded and ready to mask off for white. It’s windy right now though, might have to shoot it in the dark tonight. Goodbye all emblems on rear hatch

Congrats - can't wait to see progress pics. If I ever attempted to paint my LC outside at night around here it would be 99% bugs and 1% paint

3 coats of white, a little bit of dust too. It’s the roof, whatever. My beautiful Gamaviti rack will cover it.

Are you painting your car or the sky??

I’m awake at 6:00, ready to go. Sanding doors till sunset, sanding doors at sunrise. Today will be big.
