Can't have enough project cars. My newest project car showed up today.
...In the mail.
Well spent another 5 hours on paint prep. I'd rather kill myself than paint cars for a living.
I kind of screwed myself, I was poking around in the "drip tray?" area between the windshield and engine compartment and noticing all of the cracks in the protective rubber/plastic junk audi puts on there from the factory and accidentally cracked a piece of it off.It's bare factory body underneath, So I ended up having to chip the whole thing out and then sand that area too. That sucked, but it will look better in the end.
Got some primer sprayed in the areas in the engine bay that were sanded to bare metal.
Anything that has been sanded down to metal gets "acid etching" primer first, then sprayed in high build primer so it can be sanded smooth. Then will get painted in factory L90E alpine white.
My goal is to hopefully be done with all the prep and sanding tomorrow. Then I can paint and never look back. Will start assembling the engine as much as I can, finish the subframe, and start going back together ASAP. Still have lots of work to do but the project keeps expanding.
hopefully I can get by with this.
