Looks like you've got a good start on doing it the 'right' way. Keep it up. When I was your age, I sat on my *** in front of the TV, and that long before even the Atari.

Make sure you're not getting any overspray on those windows. U'll regret it when ur scraping all the paint off the windows with a razor. I'll be sanding/priming my TII next weekend, getting it ready for paint in the next couple weeks. Should be fun.

Try acetone, takes paint right off just about anything.

I primered and painted my car with the help of my friends and an experienced uncle. I didn't have the car for very long after i painted it but as long as you sand the side moldings and get proper primer on them they should hold paint. Mine turned out great!
