well, I HAVE to paint it now
Thursday, January 05, 2006 9:43 AM
the asshat construction guys that are working here took a chunk out of my wing and trunk lid. I didn't even notice it for 2 days since I've been rushing to work.

They were throwing trash into a dumptruck parked behind my car. Well, it seems they dropped a window on my trunk and wing. Evidence - the glass stayed on my rear window and trunk lid for 2 days. It looks horrible, a fist sized grouping of nicks, about a 1/2" around, almost like they tried to catch it and made it worse, or the glass broke and chipped the fiberglass/paint.

Anyway, I don't know if they are going to fess up to it, and my insurance doesn't cover it yet (got it added today) so I may just have to buy paint and redo it myself (what a way to practice my painting skills) using single stage (I KNOW, but I cant afford the good stuff) and doing just the trunk first and working the rest of the car later I guess.

The year is starting out just PEACHY so far.

contractor said he would pay for paint, I got a quote for a quart. I am going to repaint the car this spring I think, after the body kit is on, so I need the paint any way. He offered me $150 to repair it myself, I figure the paint is about $70 for a quart of single stage (hey, it's not a show car, it's more for speed LOL) with all the extras.

I will have to take the car down for a weekend, strip the trunklid off the car and of all parts, including the wing, sand it, seal it, and repaint it. Hopefully it will be done in a day and ready to install in two. I'll use heat lamps to speed things up a little.

I know the paint wont match due to fading, but as I said, this is to make it through to spring and a total car repaint. Hell, I might have enough in the quart to do the hood finally as well. then I wont have the shoddy spray-bomb covering my eyelids. LOL
