123 needs a paint job
Well, my 123 needs to get painted. There is a little welding which needs to be done first, but since it was such a nice weekend I decided to do some paint preparati.on, so I stripped it.
The car paint condition was the clear and most paint is gone from the hood, roof and trunk. The sides where starting to go so I just thought I give it a little help. I used a trick I found in surfing the net utilizing paint remover to liquify the remaining clear coats so as to either get to the base color or the primer.
I applied the paint stripper with a brush. It's nice to have a power washer. Helped big-time in removing the stripper. Once dried, I went at it with a DA and an 80 grit disk. Only had enough time today to do one side of the car along with the trunk.
What's the collective forum wisdom say I should do next ? I plan to sand the other side. Remove the rubber-seal/chrome trim at the bottom of the windows, the bottom trim on the dooors and sand the entire car in 220 then 320 and prime. Any other suggestions would be welcomed.
