So the Camaro needs paint, and so does the Mazda. What better way to test and hone skills than to paint the less important daily driver first!
More to come in the next few weeks. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away!

Typcial perfectionist stuff lol. First ever paint job, quick and dirty. Turns intol a mini resto!
Everything is taken off concerning where paint will be layed. Por-15 alot of spots like the windshield frame. All little bits of rust taken car of. Little body filler (Thanks Brandon!) and some hand sanding a few spots. All in all a pretty straight car.
Need to sand the hood down, hand sand the chassis door hinges, inside of one door, and sand the bumpers and I'm ready to tape up and primer. So 3-4 hours of work is all really.
Super close! _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Layed the first layer of primer. I'm pretty happy for it being the first time I've really ever sprayed (except 1/4 of Brandon's hood once lol.)
And learning a gun and setup and all by myself. Well, asked lots of questions and got wisdom, but no one was there but me! LOL Thankfully Brandon's coming out this weekend to help!!!!!! _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

It's turning out way better than I expected thus far! No pictures LOL looks just like the last set. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Well we shot the color and the clear this weekend and got the big parts put back on. There's some junk in the paint, but that's what you get when you paint in the summer when there's pollens and wind and in your garage! _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |
