Hey all!
I'm finally painting my junkyard beast!
I got an air compressor and air tools for christ mosh.
I went out and bought a hand held sand blaster (kinda looks like a paintball gun)
I have the car, (from the front windshield to the rear end) stripped down to the metal.
The bumpers are off and I am taking out the rear bumper and possibly the front bumper for good.
The doors are getting put on work horses and being stripped and gutted. (crash bars are being taken out along with any other useless metal)
I am getting new front fenders. Know where to get them cheap?
I need new front and rear bumper covers for a 85 4 cylinder, no fog lights.
Where can I buy trim like side moldings, and chrome window stripping?
I have a good background with Auto Body repair. (I'm certified in autobody from highschool,, long time ago)
I have a good D.A. sander, block sander, grinders, 8" disk grinder, bondo, welder, etc...
Any helpfull hints you can give me on the base metal prep, primer prep and paint prep, including how rough to leave each before coating, etc, would be greatly appreciated.
She is being painted dark metalic blue with chrome weather stripping and chrome door handles just like it has now.
Thanks!
