I love how you used the red arrows to point out the primered areas

lol yea i noticed that too. I think it's because it's kinda hard to tell. In that pic of the rear quarter panel, it looks like primer but it's just really crappy looking old paint/bondo. lol

How much is this costing you to get painted? I need to get my Del Sol painted REAL soon. It's annoying because everything looks great on my car IMO, except the paint. LOL.

Haha nah I didnt put those arrows on the guy doing the work emailed me the pics and he did that...but its only running me $780 cause I found a guy who does it for fun....two auto body shops quoted me 5k...I paid 2 for my car And the horrible bondo work was the owner before me having a 2 inch deep dent and just slabbing bondo on it so when the guy doing it now took out the bondo it was still wet! Really bad body work, dumb guy before me lol....He is supposed to be laying the paint on tomorrow so Ill try and get more pics up.

LOL! Isn't body filler supposed to be no more than 3/4" thick or something like that?

anyway, congrats on the free paint job... how I envy you
