Some more updates: After painting the 2k primer, I sanded the entire next day and got things smoothed out, threw on another epoxy coat, and then sprayed the base and clear! It turned out overall really good I feel. Definitely not a professional job, a few runs here and there and some orange peel that I need to wet sand down, but overall I'm really happy with it for my first paint job! I think it turned out pretty good. This week I am finishing wet sanding, then I am having the windshield and hatch installed and then I'll install the rest of the windows and door internals, etc. Slowly the ole turd will come back to life!

here are a few updates on the paint. It's beena learning experience for sure. I've gotten the engine bay all painted and last night I shot a 2k primer over the car to finish it all up and black out some runs easier. after I block out this primer I'll throw another coat of epoxy over and depending on whether I have to wait for a full day (SPI's tech sheet reccomends a 24 hour wait), I'm hoping to have everything tonight. If I can get away with painting today I totally will. I'm very excited to be at this point, it's been a long time coming. there are definitely imperfections in the paint so far, but I'm happy with what I've learned and accomplished! It's a cool project to have taken on. Close up on color: engine bay shots: before 2k epoxy: after:

haha that's where I was last year this time. It is a pain! But, I'm glad to be at this point finally haha.
