I feel like I'm asking stupid questions here, but I am in need of advice for making spot paint repairs on the 914.. If I could afford to have the whole car painted, I would, but this is where I'm at, to stop and fix rust bubbles and major paint cracks.
This is what I'm dealing with: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.7.jpg) My plan was to go down to aplace in San Diego that can make color matched paint (I have not idea what this yellow is) and have 3 or 4 aerosol cans of yellow made up, and attempt to feather and blend these areas in... Anyone have advice or things I should be careful of before I go about attempting this? Thanks, Ethan |

![]() Well, I caved.. too much rust underneath the paint, and when i went to remove the rubber seal around the windshield, it practically removed itself.. so out comes the glass to fix the rust.. And here's the kicker, the car is heading off to Maaco of oceanside tomorrow morning pretty much as a bare car. They have done some seriously nice work on a bunch of cars Ive seen come through the franchise. I'll take a bunch of pictures as it goes, cause i'm anal retentive like that, but you get the picture. Now, on a more serious note... I need advise on color combo.. my original plan was signal orange, the alaska blue metalic, and my girlfriend wants it to stay yellow with black trunk lids.. What does the brain trust think? |
