Hey, this winter my car decided to take a trip into a sign off the freeway, as seen HERE.
We decided to wait till it got nice out to fix it that way we didn't have to worry about anymore trips off the freeway and anyways, tonight we got to paint, YAY!!.

Photos of damage...cracked and warped rear bumper, gouged trunk filler panel, dented and tweaked trunk, dented door and broken door handle.




Then I bought a new trunk (no pics of that) and a new rear bumper. The bumper had, i guess, gotten dragged at the junkyard so I had to repair that and the filler panel with SEM problem plastic repair.

Then we did the door. First pounded out the dents and then filled her.

Ya...umm...this would be my attempt hence why it looks really thick. Don't worry, it got sanded off.


In primer.



That's how it sat for a while till last night....

First coat of base.



Paint makes me happy.


Last coat.



Clear



The dude helping me is Gary and he's the one that first helped me get the car by helping me rebuild one from 2 wrecked cars.

Tomorrow we'll pull the masking off, sit her in the sun and then button everything up.
