Finally got clear laid down and I'm very happy with the results! Next will be a cut and polish! Need to get the wing painted now and the new fenders will come after that

More progress made on the SC paint repair. Sanded down the primer and laid the first coat of base. Need to get more paint tomorrow and clear should be Friday

Sorry for the delay in update!

Had to put a small layer of filler on the passenger rear corner of the roof but it smoothed out perfectly and I've laid primer over all filler or bare metal. Finally have it out in the sun for the first time in a while and am currently posting this from the driver's seat 😂

Have to take it to my local paint shop next week to get the color matched (the shop that painted it years ago messed up the paint code) so I can match it as closely as possible. Got a good size compressor and a couple paint guns to be able to do this as professionally as possible. My wedding is next weekend so I'll probably lay color the week after that. It's coming together thought and I'm very excited to see it all one solid color again lol

The paint on this car has always been a little rough but I had the driver's side and front redone several years ago and now the rest is falling apart. Working on getting it all back to looking uniform and fresh. This is my largest automotive paint job so far and it's a bit daunting but it's been satisfying so far getting rid of the shitty clear coat and paint and watching it all go back to smooth. Lots more work ahead but I'm very excited to see the end result!
