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 |

Wow, thanks so much for posting that. I had no idea the car made it to the PCA main facebook page... Sweet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Oh, I also won my class for Concours on my first time out. I think I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead. I had more fun at the track tour than the concours, and was the only car there with big black gobs of rubber clag on their tires.. oh well, still was a great event, and I can't complain about winning first go around...

...still was a great event, and I can't complain about winning first go around... Underage drinking going on in the paddocks I heard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Also, Ethan met Slits (Ron was nowhere to be seen that day). Sad day. Sad day indeed. Once so young and so innocent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
