I purchased this car last year if my memory serves me well, It was an pretty ugly looking 4K but the previous guy had put in a built 5cylinder 10 V motor in it, the car was done for him to have fun ice racing, for the cheap price I decided to get it and use it as a track car since now the boys are ready to beat on a car on the track, this would be perfect since I have a lot of spare 4K parts.
Well where is the project then ? he asked.
I have always wanted to attempt my own paint job, but was always scare to screw it up or to just jump in it, So there I did it over the last couple weeks, I stripped the car, fixed a few dings, left a couple as I the weather last week end was perfect for that, and I did not want to wait for the spring to do it.
So there it is my white paint job on what was a silver beat up paint job. A friend, Mark gave me some pointers, I did some research and ended up for the first job using a Dupont single stage urethane paint, It was so much fun that I went back the next day to the paint shop to buy some blue to do the stripe. I stayed away from the Audi color as That would have required 3 more days of nice weather to do the 3 colors on the car. Plus that is different.
I ended up covering the garage wall with plastic, cleaning the floors and wetting them before starting the paint.
It Actually came out great, there are NO RUNS! more than I cans ay about paint jobs I paid for!
So one down, This was a blast so I will do it again.
