Back and forth between motor work and paint/body work...this weekend it is paint and body.
Took a razor blade to the doors to avoid having to deal with all the decal glue residue...didnt take too long as the paint was not adhered to the door panels very well to begin with.
I managed to get the front clip pieces along with the deck lid in shape today and I went ahead and painted the backside of all the parts. I have decided I will re-assemble the car and paint it as a whole...will make it much easier to color match all the panels and I won't have to worry with gouging/scratching finished surfaces.
Tomorrow I will detach the inner fender liners and freshen those up with paint. I'll then go ahead and assemble those to the fenders so I can make a straight shot re-attaching the assemblies.
This won't be a show car finish, but I will take the time to block outside surfaces. I went with the Sierra Fawn color in single stage so I can wet color sand and buff when finished. I know the base/clear would have been lighter, but I just have never been able to master laying down clear. On the plus side if it gets any gouges, dings or scratches I can easily repair them myself with this system. Another full day planned for Sunday...
