Right now my 914 is a ugly cream color. It has lots of chips in it to. I have look all over google.com to find steps on how to paint your car but had no luck.. Im also decieding what color I wan't. I have the wood lining inside my car. I was thinking maybe a black/green tint or a black/blue tint sence my car also has the black rubber bumbers. But I first need to sand my car down. I have no clue were to start I do have access to a spray gun but I don't have money to have it done by a pro.

If you want to learn how to do a good job on a cool car, don't learn how to do it on a 914. Too many of them have been messed up this way.
Find a local body shop that works evenings. Volunteer to work a couple of nights for free, starting out with just watching then helping out more and more. You will be amazed at what you can learn and never pay for a course. The best part of all this is, after you have "helped the owner out" enough, when it comes time to paint your car, he may let you do it in his paint shop. (or even help you out with it) The hours you will spend at his shop will more than pay for final job you will end up with when your car is done. Tx Doug |
