great write up i wish I found this before I painted my stuff. It still came out good though, but this is the most detailed one I found so far.

Great write up man, It looks like it takes a good amount of work inorder to get a good looking paint. Anyone think a newb might just have better luck taking the parts to a body shop for painting.

Great writeup, thanks! I finally started doing some small things to the car, and this was what I've done first.

I'm finishing up the lettering and then I will hopefully be able to post pics.

Next up: Hoodliner and fuse box painting. (I wish I could say next... performance mods... but no money means aesthetic mods only. LOL.)
