Maybe I missed this but why are the rocker panels taped up?

Looks great!! So what brand of paint do you guys spray?

Allen - Great work and your attention to detail appears to go above and beyond what is expected in your industry.

I'm definitely going to use your shop if I ever need any body shop services in the future!

Actually what else is missing from this picture as well are the bumpers, mirrors and Sunroof. I have a goal of having the car color sanded and in it's final clear coat for our Open house on Saturday.

What is showing in the pictures is the first clear coat I am going to clear this twice for a slick texture and added depth. That needs to happen by tomorrow to meet my goal. The other parts will be sprayed next week before I can put it back together.

+++++Which BTW our open house will be open to anybody who wishes to come by and see demonstrations on resistance welding, Frame measuring and pulling techniques, Painting, buffing and also I will have a guy doing Paintless Dent removal demonstrations. So if anybody wants to come by between 12:00 and 2:00 please do +++++++

I don't get how you can match the color so close to original

 

[AllenM]

Not to hard.
The paint code is on the car and the paint manufacture gives us a formula of the toners to mix in order to match it.

Looks beautiful already and it is not even done. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

 

[jmiller676]

Maybe if we all chip in $1 to help pay Fenway will let us drive it.

Thanks bro. I got all new trim and moulding pieces so it should look really close to 98. Can't wait to see the finished product as well.

Saturday between 12 and 2 hmmm I think a Lowes trip is in order with an additional stop added. If you want to do a dint demo I have an s10 with a decent dent in the left rear quarter panel you could rub out with a spoon. No hard crease in it. Can send pic or stop by if you would like to look at it I live in Austin Lakes.

OC encouraged or discouraged at this event?

Why time do you call it a day. We are cutting our days short this week because of the heat.

What amazes me is that pic is showing the replaced door taken from a wrecked 3 series. Can't tell

I have seen lots of their work in the past. I think they are part artist and part magician.
