Coupe Repaint Progress Thread *Pics*

Russian · 05-12-08, 12:54 AM

I am repainting my coupe because of rust, door dings, and scratches. It had a lot of rust in the trunk area and on the roof. I stripped the whole car, grinded all the rust off and welded the holes. While I was at it, I shaved the antenna and the emblem holes. Now, everything is ready for primer. I will primer it tomorrow, and get it painted on the weekend. I decided to paint it Nighthawk Black Pearl because its a newer color and i like it more than Granada Black.

Here are the progress pics:
