Hi folks, I wanted to show some pictures of the process I went through in painting my 914. I thought it might be helpful to those who are considering the same task for their car. By painting your own car, you will be saving yourself a lot of money, and you will be able to reach a level of detail that most body shops will not provide, at least not for an economic fee. Be warned, however, it is a lot of work! The first picture here is a photo of the car with my girlfiend, now wife, back in '91. Since then, the elements have really taken a toll on the car, and hence, the car needed extensive body work to get things back the right way. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(mikez @ Nov 29 2006, 12:33 AM)  Does this involve scantily clad wimmen and cars? Eventually, I hope... Another tip I picked up when working with filler: always add a skim cout when you think your done. Then sand that. See my 4' level on the driveway? Attached image(s)
