I also liked the Civette car. There have always been cool looking FWD's hopefully some other crazy stuff comes alone.

What is a civette?

Got tired of being in line to get a paint Job! So the past few weekends have been busy with getting the door jambs, trun jam, inner fenders, backs of doors, bottoms of hood and trunk, and the ground effects painted.

One area I have been fighting is on my lower ground effects where I cut them. It does not matter how many times I refinish that area when I move the panel(twist) I can see where the reair was. After painting them I was shocked even more. I'm going to try to refinish them mounted on the car, I'm hoing with them rigid it will Help. I'm also open to ideas!

I only have a few pictures, the rest of the parts are in storage till this weekend when I reassemble the car. I plan on doing a reverse tape off to cover the jambs and other painted areas, Any pointers for a Rookie would be appreciated.

I had planned on having the car painted but after waiting 3 weeks to this point I decided to move forward and do it myself. Hope I don't regret it.

I'm using a Single stage paint that can also be shot as a two stage. I'm going to do a final Blocking after the car is painted then have it Clear Coated. The Color is Midnight Blue, but under the Flourecent Lights it has a Hue of Purple.

Hey Joe,
Thanks for the update. I check regularly looking for new pics and info from you. I just went back to your first post on this project and that was back in January. I can't believe it's almost a year for you. It looks real good so far. Looking forward to seeing the finished product of your hard work. It should be awesome!

I think its coming out good. And just because you see the repair all the time doesn't necessarly mean everyone else will unless they take a good look at it. So as long as its small I doubt most people will notice. The paint job looks good so far too. Hope everything else comes out good on later posts.

Thanks for the Great comment. The car is currently sitting in the spray booth, last night we shot the clearcoat on. Taking pictures in a spray booth sucks, everything is overexposed. This week I'll post pictures as we start to reassemble the car.

Here She is. I do have a ton of Work to do yet. The Glass goes in next week. Things don't move as fast as you want them to sometimes. My Buddy Cameron Shot the Clear for me. Painting was an expirience that I don't care to do again(but probably will). we Plan on Sanding the Clear to get it really flat, then Buffing to a nice Shine .
Next up we start on stiffening the Chassis.















Thanks for Your Time here. Comments and Criticism always welcome.
