My paint job process!

Hi everyone, as some of you know i was saving up to get a paint job on my car which was badly needed. This thread is for the progress of my paint and body work over the next two weeks until my car is finished. Enjoy!

This is what the whole car is going too look like when we are finished, we did a test on my bumper. This is with one coat of clear.



My spolier and front bumper ready for paint...




Wrapped up and primered...








Unwrapped with the primer, shes my safari queen!!

White and S5 conversion? Can't deny my bias towards that already but it should turn out amazing. Throw some T2 sideskirts on it while your at it.

you only need to primer the places that you've done body work to. Where the primer is, is where dents and rust were. As you can see my car was not that fucked up. You just sand the rest and then it's ready for paint.
