Hail damage - Paint Prep (previously Vinyl Wrap Prep)

Way overdue for an update...

 

Got mucked around by quite a few local painters before finding someone up front and honest to do it. Today was Paint day 1. Body.

I am really happy with the results so far, It's amazing how good it looks. Black was a hard color to choose, and I knew I would be in for a tough job to get her error free - and there are some errors, about 5-7 spots where I just could not see/fix - But it's under fluoro lights, so under normal light, they wont be as visible. Overall, I am over the moon. Roll on Wednesday, I can start putting her back together...

 

I've also got a K2 Gear Trunk lip spoiler on the way, with some G-Corp eyelids. Yee haaa... More pics to come.

I've got a guy doing the painting for me :) Hes just started his own panel and paint business, so i'm bartering goods and services for a paint job !

 

I've gone black. I wont forgive myself with any other color. The mazda color was nice, but because i'm only a novice with repairs, I didnt want to drop a tonne of cash on the paint, only to find id missed a spot. And I have. Very very minor, but still. I would have been kicking myself, With this, I'm so happy.

Looks good! Welcome to my world I do this every day! I paint between 15 and 30 cars a day, not all overs but we do have all five paint booths full and going. I did body and paint at my last shop and did a lot of hi end cars. Just started at this shop and they are wearing me out. If you enjoy working on them just don't do it for a living because you will come to hate working on your own cars. Good job
