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 |

Update! The car comes home tomorrow morning, was planning on picking it up this evening, but figured it would be better to load up the car in the morning when I could see what I was doing... Anyways, here are the pictures. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1379559849.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1379559849.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1379559849.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1379559849.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1379559850.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1379559850.6.jpg) Can't wait to start assembling everything! Good color choice. Very visible in traffic and looks great on the 914. That a pretty nice paint job from Macco. They dont have a great retputation in Texas. |

That really looks great! The color is stunning! Did you do the prep work and they sprayed it or did you just strip the trim and such off the car and they handled the rest? If you don't mind me asking.....what was the cost?

If you don't mind me asking.....what was the cost? I stripped Everything off of the car, and took it to them. They had to strip everyhthing off of the rear fenders because of the shoddy job done before when they were pulled and welded. They blocked the car and did everything else. Total is $1840 out the door.. All of the money I made working over summer is going in to it.. I must say, I'm still kind of trying to come to the realization that's it's my car. I'ts been yellow forever as far as I'm concerned, and I see if and drive it every day. I'm 100% pleased with how this all went, and I'm really glad it's not yellow anymore.. And shiny paint..? what is that..? the yellow never was shiny, so this is a wonderful treat. |
