Ok, so I shouldn't quit my day job and open up Al's Autobody just yet...but, considering this is my first time using an automotive paint gun, mixing paing, using bodywork tools (hammers and pullers) and laying up filler...I'd say it turned out ok.

Tomorrow I'll take all the masking off, clean everything, throw some stickers on it...and it'll be ready to wreck again!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Graphics sponsor...I wish! Actually, I'm working on it. Interestingly enough, the guy that owns Briggs Graphics built this car for Motorola Cup a few years back...its even on his home page. We'll see what he says.

So, HVLP my butt! I spent an hour compounding the pink haze off the white panels and the white dust off the red panels that didn't get masked. I also had to razor blade half the rear glass and all of the front glass. PITA!

Yep, I went to Finishmasters in Concord. The guys were pretty amused when I said "I've never done body work, or paint, but I have this quarter panel I need to fix...so what do I need?" It looks a lot better here than in person, but I learned a lot and I'm glad I did it. Next time it'll go smoother and look better.
