Note to self . . . and anyone else who cares . . .
Be careful when shaking spray paint as the can may burst without notice as mine just did. None got on the car though! dunno bout how the garage floor looks in white though.

 

my white FC is doing the same thing, once it gets bad enough i'll have the whole car redone
shouldn't be too difficult to remove the old paint, they just have look at it hard and it'll fall off

 

yea really. while i was sanding more and more kept chipping off. the smallest area is now the ize of a football. I said i think it was a respray because in the engine bay some of the plastic has over spray. i dont know if its factory mistake or touch up.

 

Epic Failure. The hood and roof looked good until i removed the masking tape. Then all of the original paint came with it. Pics soon.




Any idea on cost of hood repaint if i did the stripping first?

 

Well ATM im just going to keep it out of the weather. In a week or two ill sand and repaint the entire hood. The rest of the body looks good though for the first coat. Sand and repaint later this week.

 

ive been told by my mechanic that if i do the stripping myself then he can paint it for $500 and thats including the paint

 

Couldnt someone write up where and what the fuses go/do?

I think the most costly part of painting a car is preparations, ur gonna save at least half maybe more doing the prework yourself.

Any news on the headlight?

 

I've always heard that paint was bad but DAMN!

 

I have yet to look at the headlight as i said its cosmetic atm. Its prolly just a bracket thats bent. All will be revealed once i take it apart. :p
