FYI
A tid bit of info, make him take the bumpers off and paint them off the car. Also, remove that front fender moulding.
Especially with doing a color change.
If he bitches about it, then ask him if you remove it, will he spray it.

I don't think its going to be done for a while i am going to start ordering the parts i need still soon but i just feel so worn out after work i just don't want to work on it. My days off are sparse too and if i get one i don't really want to work on it either.
Posted by venomous99 (Member # 1917) on
:
looks bad ass. love the color.
any reason why you didnt have the quarter windows, key holes removed? it looks like the rest of the stuff was removed as you'd expect for a new paint job. i wouldve taken that opportunity to refinish the quarter window moldings while they were out.
when i had my fox painted, i had all that stuff taken out and reshot all the trim with black trim paint. if u plan on doing the refinish on the quarter moldings, be forewarned...theyre a bitch to look right and take a lot of filler and wetsanding to get nice and smooth for paint.
