what # of sandpaper did you use to take off the original red paint

400 at first then 600 to smooth out

[gumby1220]

forgot to say above when sanding i was wet sanding makes it alot smoother and easier on the hands

[gumby1220]

unfortunately we did not finish it this weekend. prep work took a bit longer then expected but it will be done soon

[gumby1220]

finally got to putting the paint on this weekend. will be posting pics later today of the finished product

[gumby1220]

Before


AFTER








my brother and i did everything from bodywork which included plastic welding and bondo work wet sanding all the way to painting we still have to polish it and put a clear coat on it didn't have enough time to do it this weekend so we'll clear coat it this coming weekend. over all turned out pretty nice. have to say i like the silver better then the red

Looks great! Make sure you don't polish it until the clear coat has had the proper time to cure.

you can look for a product called farecla G4. It is good for fresh paint.

might not get to clear coat it this weekend due to the hurricane but we'll see. hopefully its not too bad to where i can open the garage door a bit with no moistier getting in.

I used a 3m polish, worked really well also. I bet I still have the bottle down in the garage in Bama too.
