As alot of you know (from my "Something dont seam right" thread) that i have FINALLY started the bodywork and paint on my car :D so i desided to start a new thread about it that i will be constantly updating as the work progresses, so that you all can see what actually goes into the repair and paint of a car ;)
Ill start off with what the car looked like prior to any work Attachment 62488 Attachment 62489 Attachment 62490 Attachment 62491 Attachment 62492 Attachment 62493 Attachment 62494 Attachment 62495 Attachment 62496 Now some of what i have done thuse far removed and sanded off all damaged paint from rear spoiler Attachment 62497 Primed ones and sanded only to find that there was a wavy section throughthe middle (the white parts) Attachment 62498 primed again and final sanded starting with 320grit finishing with 800grit ( all the primer in this thread will be done that way ;) Attachment 62499 In the booth cleaned and ready to paint https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a...tribute405.jpg PAINTED :!: Attachment 62500 Attachment 62501 Attachment 62502 Rear bumper after repair and first priming (sorry for no pics of the repair process) Attachment 62503 Attachment 62504 Im my case the painter who did the bumper last time did not prep it correctly and that paint was all removed with a preser washer :roll: (most will not do that) Attachment 62505 After that primer was sanded smooth the whole bumper was then scuffed and primed compleatly (this was to insure proper adhesion over the raw plastic (oddly those pics didnt turn out so ill have to take them again tommorow :? I then installed the rear spoiler and rear bumper because i had to get home some how, and the real work will not start till after i get back from next weeks Vacation :D Attachment 62506 Attachment 62507 Attachment 62508 Attachment 62509 Attachment 62510 Attachment 62511 https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a...tribute417.jpg Attachment 62512 More inept fixs that will have to be addressed later :roll: Attachment 62513 Attachment 62514 |
the bumper looks huge in primer grey.
I like the progress idea Pete, I'll keep track of your work. ;) |
Looks like I'm gonna have to head to the Land of Ice and Snow for my paint job :lol:
|
Looking good! Bumper looks much better so far! 8) Spoiler is gorgeous!
|
I think I'm nuts.. but I'm curious to see how an SSEi with those wheels would look.. ALL IN GRAY PRIMER.. :shock:
That wing is gorgeous. Good luck, peter. That car is a diamond in the rough |

Update time :!:
Rear bumper is now finished! Here it is fully primed and ready to be sanded down Attachment 62428 And here it is after 2.5-3 hours of sanding F*** these bumpers have a LOT of contures :x and in the booth to be painted Attachment 62429 Attachment 62430 Attachment 62431 Attachment 62432 First step the application of Polyuroxy wet-on-wet sealer Attachment 62433 Attachment 62434 Unfortunatly i got ahead of myself and forgot to take pictures of the base stage :roll: but here it is after being baked Attachment 62435 Attachment 62436 Attachment 62437 https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a...tribute441.jpg Now I installed it, I had to replace alot of worn out or missing Fastners :x so now the bumper fits much snugger so im really happy about that. I also took a pair of Channel locks and squesed the two metal brackets with the mounting studs flatter so that the bumper didnt sag on the to sides (common on our cars, and most noticeable just under the tail light @ the quarter) https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a...tribute442.jpg Attachment 62438 Attachment 62439 take note of the better alignment https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a...tribute447.jpg and how the fresh paint looks incomparison the theold paint (camers flash make it much more drastic) https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a...tribute449.jpg |

:shock:
This is the first time I've stumbled onto this thread, and I must say, the new paint job looks incredible, man! I can't find any overspray in any of the pics (could be resolution), and the color matches very nicely. Kudos, man! |
Yeah, this is my first time seeing this as well. Excellent job, Peter! I wish you lived a few thousand miles closer to Phoenix!

First I'm seeing this thread also...where the heck have I been?
Really fine work, Peter!!! This is a great thread for those that want an idea of what it takes to do good paint work. Having done a lot of custom woodwork and refinishing, I know that the sanding and surface prep take the most time. Do you want to give us a rough idea of the hours spent on each piece? |

Vid 2 is up!
Clear coat time! ( coat 1 of 4! [normaly only 2 coats are nessesary]) https://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g...ribute2207.jpg |
Very skillful technique Peter.
I should have known from the quality of that excellent Ram Air Light you modified for me that you have talent. The scoop is painted to a perfect mirror black trim finish. You should have that Bonne perfect......but it does take a lot of time to do it right. |
Ok Peter, at the next NEBF you have to put on a clinic for us painter wannabees on how to paint on a budget and still get decent results.
The vids were very informative. Wish I had a paint booth big enough for a car. LOL. |

Peter... Knowing the way we've seen you work in the past.. you will be bringing a new car to NEBF. Guess I'll have to keep mine away as it will be envious.
