While I spent the week at a sales meeting my buddy was hard at work and we got back to it this morning.








And I stripped the front fender again back to bare metal



Second to last coat of primer on the doors, one more blocking, primer, then wetsand.

I dig the wheels.
That thing is going to be smooth as glass!

Awesome! Why did you strip the fender again?

That is the end goal, there is so much more work for a black car.

I had done a half assed job stripping it the first time and left some original primer that was tough as nails.

Back at it this morning. More sanding, more filler.




Back of bumpers done in POR15 after sandblasting, one coat of silver, one coat of black.

I got Michelle's car back just in time for me to leave the country for work. I literally pushed it in the garage Wednesday evening, an got on a plane Thursday morning. It blows when you have to leave in the middle of something.

Coming from a fellow Malibu guy, it looks great! Also glad I'm not the only guy who shoots primer in his yard.
