The passenger front fender will most likely be ready to spray tomorrow at work sometime.


So hopefully I'll have an indication of what the car will look like by that this time tomorrow.



Days worked on project to date: 31

Total money spent on project to date: $889

You do some pretty awesome body work dude

Hey thanks! We'll see if the paint job agrees. Haha

I think your Z is creeping on ya

Wow, cannot unsee.

i kno right...I shat brix

Oh shit! hahaha!



First piece is officially sprayed.

First impressions: I like the color, I think the car is going to look MEAN when it's all said and done.

I turned the pressure up slightly, and I purposefully sprayed a little closer to the panel to put a little orange peel on the surface so the small imperfections of the panel are unnoticed.

Plus it gives me a little material to sand/buff with should I become anal enough to change the surface finish.

It's not Pebble Beach quality, but it's certainly fitting of a 650 dollar car.

Take a look and let me know what you think. I'm pretty happy.









The real test will be seeing it outside, but that won't happen until I go in tomorrow and see it.

Now that I've confirmed I'm happy with the color, I will continue to prep more panels tonight. Hopefully something will be ready to spray tomorrow.

We'll see. I'll update with more progress this evening, as it happens.

I'm right on track to having the car ready, as soon as the roads are available.

I wish I could just paint it all at once. Spraying 5-10 different times opens up a lot of doors for problems to occur. But hey, beggars can't be choosers I guess.

Hatch progress today. And some outside pics of the fender. Plus a little mockage.


Before.

And some outside pictures of the color. Pretty overcast today.

I think she's purdy!

On the car, teasing myself. Bad lighting.







Gotta prep another panel tonight to spray tomorrow. Possibly passenger door. Not sure, we'll see what happens when I get out there.

More to come...
