Even though its not a 914, you can find some good tips here as well as the 911 section at pelicanparts.com. Not sure where else there is a 911 "club". For colors, there's another thread about favorite car colors. Wow, 13 and you have a Porsche. You've definitely got your priorities straight. Good luck with it and have patience. My favorite colors are Red and Black. Red looks good with chrome trim and black just looks good with anything. For paint prep, I've seen folks sand old paint if the paint is securely on and the new paint is compatible with the old paint. What kind a shape is the body in? Got pics? Some folks strip down to bare metal. If you just sand, use a long board to sand to get a smooth finish. Paint prep is a major part of a good paint job. Spoke |
