Paint Job on my 71 Firebird

(1/18) > >>

LeighP:
Thought people may be interested to follow along as my car gets painted. Dropped it into the shop one week ago.

Work is being done by Alan and the crew at Wreck-A-Mended Smash Repairs - Ingleburn, NSW.

I dropped in to see the car today, and against my expectations on body shops, they'd hauled into the job.
Most of the car is disassembled and stripped of paint. Body still has some small sections down the bottom to strip, but its looking pretty clean so far.
The shop owner said he's pretty happy with the doors and one fender, but the other fender will need some work as it's had the typical 70's-80's repair to some dents then smothered in body filler to make it look nice....its fixable, though, which is good.

They're going against the 'panel beaters code' by hooking into it like that.  After a week, it should've been pushed over into a corner with junk stacked up on it.

LeighP:
Kind of what I expected, lol.  

Hemifish:
:fantastic: What colour are you painting it [ green is nice ] :drink:

LeighP:
Commodore SS / SV6 colour called Poison Ivy.
