Here is one of the door panels. I'm Going to paint the top part in a dark red colour.
These are the finished door panels. I did a silver trim too. The way I did that was I got a car strip. Its just a long line sticker some cars have along the side. Get it from Canadian Tire for like $5.

I will also be painting the dash in the dark red Colour. This is a picture of all the newspapers sticking everywhere to prevent the paint going... everywhere.

I got four chrome 18" beauties just chillen in the garage so i desided to clean and wax them. Here is a pic of the two I've done for now (Waxing is very boring), but still... check the bling!

OK... I TIRED PAINTING THIS!... I dont know whats wrong... After I painted the hood with Primer the paint just had this texture like the skin of an orange... Anyways i sanded the whole hood down from the primer to make it smooth. Used a 220 Grid, sanded with water technique. So thats why you can see some red breaking through the primer... Other than that... the huge baby blue bondo there is cause i noticed the hood had a large surface dent. So I've bondoed it up. Now I dont know if I should Primer again or just try again with a paint coat and it doesnt work out just sand it again? I duno guys. If there is anyone that knows how to paint, Help me out here, will ya?
Yes, just like I though, my paint gun sucked. I got myself a HLVP Gravity fed one and BOOM, super smooth paint.
Most of the stuff came out real nice. First time painting, I've only got the paint running down in two places, Yes... I did get too close with the gun. Practice makes perfect.
Now that the car is one color I will be able to see where there are little defects, bumps and dings. It's very thin layer for now, some places you can still see the red through but it's enough for me to see the defects.
Here it is. Bondo to fix the little holes and dents. I believe the car is lookin good right now and I just need to buy the Candy Red paint that I would like to paint the car with.
