FC going to the paintshop this weekend

I've had my 91na Rx-7 for almost 5 years now & it is time for a new skin. Tomorrow smoothing out the door dings & back emblems. The almost 20 year old paint has lost its shine so i'm going with a Cobra Black all around to make it look brand new again.

driver side door dings are smoothed out, i have before & after pics. i have a lot of work to do tomorrow on the passenger side & wet sanding the car to prep for paint. anyone in the area with a nice front bumper, i prefer a s5 front bumper, a turbo s5 style would be really nice & side skirts haha.

I'm doing some of the prep work myself, my buddy Dave is spraying the car & pulling the dents. This is my first time doing this but I can tell I'm gonna learn a lot. Actually watching the process step by step makes it seem easy haha. I'll use a better camera tomorrow & take a bunch of pics. it'd be nice to put a body kit on it but it's really short notice, a new stock look with the gt300 hood will still be slick
