my first car, first project THE DA9!

primerrrrr

what color paint?

im going to paint it white. base coat clear coat.

What color white? Frost or polar white?

probably polar white. im not sure yet because i havent bought the paint yet. but ill be buying whatever is cheaper.

don’t cheap out too much. go for quality man. you don’t want something that is gonna suck ass. cause if you did as much sanding as i have, you know how much it sucks to sand a car

lol hell yea. i hate sanding. ive at least spent 24 hours or so just sanding it. and yea. the stock white of my car is like an egg shell white. it has a little yellow in it i guess. but when i got the car it didnt come with a color code so when i was at a local junk yard i found a super clean white da and i took the color code sticker and put it on my car lol. yea just found out NH-538 is frost white so thats what im going with. im not even going to bother painting the jams. my jams and stuff are messed up from all the previous owners rattle canning the crap out of it.

itds taken me months to sand my car. most of the reason is probably cause we can only go on the weekends snce its at a friends paint shop. also i’m doing everything. jams, door handles, gas thing (which sucks to sand), everything. i hate it but i know since we did the work it’s gonna look stunning. also, i know sanding that crap sucks, because it doesn’t completely dry but i found wetsanding using paint thinner and about a 180 grit works well. just wear gloves and gets lots of sandpaper, cause the paint likes to build up. but good luck with your paint. if i were you i would go the extra mile with the jams, especially if you want to sell the car later :slight_smile:

The moldings werent removed when you sprayed primer?

progress looks good, but dont skimp out on the details like doorjambs and cheap paint man

lol, omgggg doesnt look like junk anymore. layed down so nice i dont have to cut and buff.

Nice work man! Cant wait to see it all put back together. :rockon:

Not bad young man.

nice, but I thought frost white was more of a brighter white then that, maybe its the light

did you paint the window trim too?

yea, the lighting in the paint booth is yellowish

no, but they are so messed up. itd be worth getting new ones

wow looking good bump

so no jams i assume? :frowning: it’s your car man, but personally i would never skip out on doing everything. but the paint looks nice! :slight_smile: how long til you throw her back together?

um… itll be ready monday, tuesday at the latest. all i need to do is clean out the interior
