Repainting my ss!!!!

[98camarols1]

i bought the car year ago.it had really bad paint-job on it.single stage.so i decided to bring her back to life sense i go to school for auto body.as of right now half of the car is primed.had to do a lots of stripping to get that shitty ass paint off.quarter panels i had to take down to the factory primer.i will give more info and add more pics as the progress takes place.

FIRST DAY.HAD TO HAND BLOCK EVERYTHING WITH 80 GRIT DUE TO BAD PAINT JOB. AND THE PANELS HAD LOTS OF LOW SPOTS.

STRIPING DOWN THE BACK BUMPER COVER

WHOEVER REPAIRD IT LAST TIME JB WELED THE BUMPER.WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE IT IT JUST CRACKED.:bang:

I HAD TO BEVEL OUT THE CRACK AND I PLASTIC WELED IT.ALSO THERE WAS THIS NEW BUMPER STAPLER(CAN'T REMEBER THE NAME RIGHT NOW) MY INSTRUCTOR BOUGHT.SO WE DECIDED TO GIVE SHOT AND IT MADE THE CRACK ALOT STRONGER.THEN I DID FEW SPREADS OF PLASTIC FILLER.

HAD TO DO SOME BODYWORK TO THE QUARTER PANELS.


THE BACK HATCH WASN'T THAT BAD.

HAD TO WET-SAND 220 BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT IT TO DIG INTO THE SMC.TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD.



PRIMED THE QUARTERS.3 NICE HEAVY COATS

PRIMED THE OTHER PIECES

PRIMED THE AIR LID.

THIS IS WHAT GOING TO BE ON THE AIR LID.

this is it for now.feel FREE throw in your two cents in.lol

i am going to go with the small after market antenna.and grill i'm thinking abt the billet grill.and the color going to be custom.its going to be bay side blue metallic as basecoat.and i am gonna throw sum pearl to the color to give some effect.haven't figured out wht pearl.still adding all different kind to see which one will be the best.and the sail panel and the back beggar panel going to be pearl black with HOK ice pearl in it.

[KahanaReef]

Sounds awesome. I'm kind of partial to pearls myself

You should delete the antenna

Yes!! Do this!!
I've deleted mine and it looks so much cleaner without it. I'm actually not even running any antenna at the moment and I still pick up all of my preset stations

I'll be peeking into this thread as well. I like this.

BLOCKED THE SAIL AND QUARTERS PANELS WITH 180.GOING TO REPRIME THEN 320 IT THEN 600.USUALLY U HAVE TO PRIME IT ONCE AND 320 IT AND 600 BUT SENSE MY PAINT WAS IN BAD SHAPE ITS GOOD IDEA TO PRIME TWICE.


SAME THING FOR ALL THE OTHER PANELS

THE HOOD IS IN BAD SHAPE.CRACKED ALL ALONG THE SIDES.GOT TO DO A LOT OF FIBERGLASS REPAIR.

I SHAVED THE BOW-TIE EMBLEM.PLANNING ON LEAVING IT, OR AIR BRUSHING THIS CUSTOM EMBLEM ON IT.

[cammed goat]

I vote for the emblem. But that's just me.

[10spokess]

I say that the emblem looks good as well!

[98camarols1]

emblem it is then.almost got the color made up.ill post it in few days

[WICKEDLS1]

are you using a filler primer, and are you going to repaint it with a bas coat clear coat setup or a single stage emron? i vote the first one since it gives you a better end result and you can apply a lot of clear so you dont have to worry when your wet sanding it.

[98camarols1]

primer surfacer kinda like primer filler.and naw man screw single stage.i am going b/c.yeah most likely going to put like 4 to 5 coats of clear.

[98camarols1]

PRIMED REST OF THE CAR

BOTH OF THE ROCKER PANELS HAD FEW BAD DENTS.

BLOCKED EVERYTHING WITH 180.READY FOR RE-PRIME.



HERE IS ONE OF THE SAMPLES OF CUSTOM PAINT.IT'S BAYSIDE BLUE METALLIC AS BASECOAT MISTED BLUE ICE PEARL(HOUSE OF KOLOR) ON TOP.WHAT YOU GUYS THINK?


NOW THIS IS THE JUST THE BAYSIDE BLUE METALLIC BASECOAT WITHOUT THE BLUE ICE PEARL.

SHOULD I DO THE BLUE ICE PEARL ON TOP OR JUST STICK WITH BAY-SIDE BLUE METALLIC COLOR.

[10spokess]

I'd do the metallic on top, really makes it pop
