Feb 13,and snowing again.

Well of coarse everyone will want to see your tricks of how they can DIY in their garage. .

Plastic the walls, wet the floor, use a tack cloth.

Maybe you can instruct me as the drivers door clear is pealing and that is what I would like to fix.

I would also like to do a side molding delete but that would mean more sanding.

Hmmmm... Sounds like someone else has BTDT.

For a car this low to the ground, I will also put it on jack stands. Makes a HUGE difference on cleanliness and it's actually a little more comfortable for me as I am 6'2. The real importance in making an all-over look good is the pattern in which you spray it; particularly the clear. If you're good, then you can just about spray coats with nearly no break in between to allow for the paint to tack off. If you're doing it right, you can just rock-n-roll without any fear of runs, solvent pop, etc.

It's just more efficient for a pro. But a DIY can also afford the time to spend on one vehicle at a time staging their garage to get a clean job, actually. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that.

If there is enough interest in the process by members of the board, I would be happy to spray the '84 in my garage and include photos and tips. Otherwise, of course, I will just spray it in a full downdraft at a local dealer. Either way I will include photos of the process. Perhaps I should start a poll to see just how the 928OC would like to see it done and in what setting. What do you think, Brad?

What ever route you end up going Austin, I would love to see the process in pictures. Not that I ever plan on doing it myself though. I just find it very interesting what you guys can do.

Isn't that side molding delete difficult because of having to weld the holes closed in the aluminum panels?
