While she's getting painted. Im repainting it black, It needs a new paint job. Rust spots on the hood, one or two on the back rear quarter, and the Trunk lid has issues. And the clear coat on the roof is peeling a tiny bit. I'll wax it up and take pics when I get her back

I know it will come out good when it is all done.

How much did this cost you?

I am paying about 550 for a base respray and have my emblems removed properly.

Yeah, somewhat. Thats pretty close the price of your basic respray though. I think he gave me 100 off. I didn't ask. I'll definitely post up some pics when I get her back! I can't wait!

Oh and Jeff, you want a deal, I'll meet you in Austin.

Don't wash or wax too soon after the paint job. Let it set.

Alright thanks, I was wondering if there were any tips I needed before hand. Thanks

by **Jakecallun20** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 9:11 pm

Anyone know if it would hurt the car after being painted to cover it? I don't have a cover, but I need to know if one is necessary. Also, would raining hurt the car too soon after its done? Thanks

I wouldn't cover it. Park it under cover it if you can, but don't put anything on it that will rest on the paint.

by **Mr_Chunkz** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 10:04 pm

definately no cover for at least the first week if not two
my sis covered hers
and i dunno if this is due to the cover or the shi.tty earl scheib paint but its fading out in some spots and showing her previous paint thru
