At the body shop where I work, they use the dupont system. They used to use the sikkens system, which came out looking almost as good.

You need to sand the entire car down to 400 grit. After you sand a panel, go over it inch by inch, looking for divots/impressions. Sand more if necessary. I would invest in a DA and a sanding block. The DA will save so much time.

Apply patch material (i.e. bondo) only on very small marks. I would use a good two part patch material. I can't remember the name of the stuff they use at my shop. Anything larger than a dime you should to try to pull or hammer out. You don't have to, but I would really recommend it for longevity.

cross sanding making x's never go only 1 direction get the biggest sanding blocks you can use easily the bigger arear you cover the better chances it will come out straighter...and flat...our cars are very curvy though so you might want to get one of the rounded cylinder sanding blocks too.

Just another thought about what kind of paint to use. Don't over look PPG Deltron. My dad painted my first truck with it and it turned out great. We used PPG Deltron base coat and Valspar clear coat. I didn't even have to water sand and buff it. A guy that painted at the local GM dealership asked me who water sanded and buffed my truck and I told him that it hadn't been done yet and the look on his face was priceless. I spent about $400 on paint, reducer, clear and activator for the clear. I did however, buy a gallon of clear and only used half of it.

BTW, House of Kolor paint is made by Valspar.

yea i'm goin to check with other places other than that one guy and see wat all they like to spray and wat kinda rates they got for the already prepped job

right now i'm just loading up on the parts my bumper should be in tomorrow so all i really need is the hood and a couple more bumper peiceces and i'll be ready.

alright i think i'm gonna go with the cervinis cobra r hood (this may be a stupid question but are hood pins recommended with cervini's hoods)

i got one thing to ask about it though:

i thought about puttin on a grille i have heard that i have to have a 96-98 hood latch if i want to put the grill on, is this true?? if it is then i'll just get the latch when i get the hood from 50resto

When I painted my car I wished I had done something different, heres my buddies car he mixed his own color, similiar to a copper and I just think it looks sweeet....If you know anyone see if you can play around to find a nice color, he has silver flake in it.
