Sweet thanks. i was looking at this for a set up! For winter wheels some cheap mesh wheels in gold, with decent winter tires AXIS Racer-X wheels wrapped in 205/50R15 NITTO NeoGen for the summer A Origan lab widebody stream kit with 25mm front fenders and 45 rear fenders full suspension when the time is right and a good relaxed interior with not alot of drastic guauges and BS. I am looking to keep it clean. Silvertop motor swap also towards spring when that comes and my money is in line i will put it away until it is ready and painted. Gloss black with a couple company names in gold outline lettering with a drop shadow. just a nice and mild but clean look. If you have any ideas let me know!

Well just an update i have the corolla half done with sanding and body prep. Motor work soon. i have spend alot of hours getting the paint off. i'm either getting a replacement 4A-C and build up the other due to budjet or save for the 20V down the road. I have a few things for the car already but as far as it is now still under construction. purchased paint comes in the form of white primer, gold base and Eye candy green. www.eastwood.com/ew-candeez-eye-candy-green-and-activator.htmlwww.eastwood.com/candeez-gold-metalliand-activator-gal-kit.html until i get to that point i still have alot to purchas in body parts. i have to finish one last test for school in the next couple of weeks. i hope to have an open house and see what happens from there!! maybe i will use some money on parts. who knows... thanks for looking in and keep the comments coming.

That is the first coat. i have to get more discs for the sander. i am using 150 then a 240 over it. Hope to get discs soon. i want the rest of it painted fast like what. even if i cant drive it. At least it will look decent

What are you going to after 240? That's what I use on wood. Pretty coarse for metal, unless you like body work to be a 10 stage process

before applying paint to a car it should have a few coats of primer on it and wet sanded with at least 600 grit before applying paint the paint should be a few coats then the clear. depending on what finish you want determates tha amount of coats of clear. If you want a flat glass finish you would put 4or 6 coats than wet sand it down to a flat finish but if you don't care 2or 3 should be fine. Just a little FYI. cause that shit look horrible
