Thanks!

And lets just say, I've got a pretty good technique, if you know what I mean

Repetitive back and forth motions are a favorite past time of mine. Haha. ;)


And yeah, I do include the costs of materials; however, I STILL have not had to buy any store goods yet, aside from what's already been listed. One of the main goals of this project was to use up all the left over and scrap materials I've accumulated over the years of various paint jobs/body repair. That's also why this paint job cost 74 dollars.

I'll say though, that after this project, my stores are definitely getting low. And I'm REALLY close to needing a 75/25 bottle refill for the mig, but I'm trying to tack up my last 5 body molding holes without having to drop 40 bucks on a refill.

Door....Sprayed.










We'll see if I can't prep another panel for tomorrow, however at this time, it's looking unlikely.

We'll see....

I got out to work most of the day today. Got the majority of the passenger side body work done. I intend on spraying the unibody sometime this week. I'll continue spraying these panels starting tomorrow.
