GT Paint

04 Mach1 · 09-24-2006, 09:18 PM

Let me first say I WILL NEVER paint another car myself. This has to be the most time consuming job that there is. I have a new found respect for body shops. I thought there was no way I was paying someone for a couple of hours preping and maybe 2 hours of booth time. I had started tearing into it in July now 2 months later and its finally showing progress. I can't wait for this to be finished.

Yeah, that's I job that I don't know if I'll ever do myself. I'd have to have a really nice shop and lots of time on my hands.

Good to see that you're making progress.

Goal is to have it done by track day. Still have alot to do. Plan on having some kind of aftercooler on by then too.

I need to learn to paint. I done all the prep work to mine but I can't get the clearing down yet. The part I hated the most was taking the quarter glasses out.

I enjoy doing the priming and sanding.

I hate dealing with bondo though

Quarter glasses I don't mind. Anything that has to be taken apart is easy. You see the goal and get it done. Now bondo is a different story. I had 2 dents in the passenger fender the took atleast 2 1/2 hours to work out. That just might be my lack of expereince but thats to damn long!!!!!

I could of had the motor and trans out and on the ground in that amount of time. I guess it just takes alittle patience.

You get through PWT and the SVO with no problems and you can do mine too.
