What are you planning on disassembling yourself?
Or are you letting the shop do all of that?

Just a tip, its best for them to take off the bottom rocker pieces and spray them OFF the car, rather than on.
I notice a few cars where it looks like the bottom rocker pieces look like they didnt get a whole lot of color sprayed on them because
of the lack of pressure.

Cant wait to see it completed dude, probably gonna be one of my more favorite Alltracs once its done :)

is that how its going in for paint? when i got my car painted i delivered it with it totally stripped of every trim, molding, etc. but if you can get away with a good tape job then that will be ok. are you painting it yourself? oh i also put the stock wheels back on b/c of overspray and paint dust.

Looks pretty good for your first rookie paint job. I wouldn't have the guts to try it myself. :doh: Love the color BTW, nice choice. I still haven't got my Flik wheels out of the box!!! Its just hard to get excited about putting them on with snow on the ground. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress.

New paint job looks sick. Wasn't sure at first, but those above pics I'm really loving the color.

Should keep the bumper and hood!!
