SE Makeover

This afternoon, my SE finally goes in for a fresh paint job. I'm going with the same color (silver), but I'm using DuPont bright silver metallic paint. It looked like a good match from the color template that I got from the DuPont guy. Just finished taking off all of the moldings, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. It took me about 45 minutes to take off all the side molding and scrape it clean. I was going to take off the windshield/drip moldings, but I was a little intimidated. The guy that's painting my car said he would do it, since he is experienced in this stuff. Now I want to get the power antenna out and anything else that would allow for a more thorough paint job. I can't wait til it's done. I'll post some pics when it's finished. I'm also going to try and sandblast my stock SE wheels and then polish them out, since I can't afford new wheels right now.

Mike
