February 6, 2007 - Mmmm, painting toys.
Now that the chassis is prepared (and most of the body panels are close), it's time to turn my attention to making the car look like the cool pictures. And this means it's time to learn how to paint.
Luckily, the panels already have decent factory paint with no bodywork so the preparation is easy - just some sanding to scuff the surface. And the fact that there's nothing to mask makes it even easier. That's good, I'll likely need all the help we can get.
In other news, we've found out that while we have to run inner door panels, we don't have to run factory panels. We might still do that as the factory parts are pretty light - but the ones from our donor cars are pretty badly damaged.
