I love your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
what brand sealer and filler primer did you use? I'm going to fix and seal some areas, but painting is a bit off still. |

Nason is DuPont's non-name-brand line. I used the Nason high build primer for bodywork as well. |

Wow, what a confidence builder. If he can do that Kick Ass job in his Garage on a two stage paint, then there may be hope for us mortals that are going to attempt a single stage in our garage...
Thanks for the thread, nice work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

It is nice to see that this thread resurfaces from time to time.
One of our club members created a PDF file for his own use of this thread. He is to use it as a guide for his own painting endevours. Here is is, just in case anyone would like to have it.

Thanks Thomas, as someone who has home-painted cars in the past and is about to do a 914 soon this is one valuable thread and you read my mind by posting that link. I can't agree with you more - this is a LOT of work, but your finished product is just reward. Congrats on the great job and thanks again.

I figure that you have produced aprox. a 15-18K paint job by your efforts so I am thinking to do the same. Great looking car. Larry, is that your car in your avatar pic? If so, what color is that? Thanks, Joe |
