July 16, 201115 yr Author comment_540076 Time for paint :D So today was the big day for the paint. 5 o clock start for dad and i this morning as you can emagine i was so exited, drove over to the car, hooked the trailer up and pushed the car on in the dark in freezing weather. Felt like my fingers where going to drop off :D . Then we jumpped back in the car to take it to the bodyworks only to realise the battery was flat because we left the lights on in the car to see what we where doing :bash: but just a minor set back, got it charged up and off we went. Got to the body works and we off loaded it and pushed it into the oven. I then decided to drop the front end out of it and sit the front on jack stands because i spent so much time on cleaning and painting it and didnt want to get any over spray blowing over it. So after that we masked it all up, then prep soled it and let Jeoff do what he does best, paint :) The end result was amazing, all the hours and the effort that was poored into the body was so woth it, couldnt have been happier with how streight the body came out concidering the was not one panel with out a dent in it that we had to repair :D Couldnt that Dad enough for it all. Jeoff ended up putting on three thick coats on it so the detailer has something to play with when he cuts and buffs it up. So after that we un masked it, put the front end back in, packed up and then sat around and had a good perve on it :laff: Got it back home at about 5 and put it in the shed where it will live for about a month, Dad was not happy about having to put his Commodore out of the shed :laff:. I'm that wrapped with it i think ile have it back together tonight haha For now it will be left for the paint to flatten off and to dry properly before the detailer comes to cut it up after a while, so i think i will start putting some of the interior back in and leaving everything else until the detailers done then give it a good wash off and start putting it back together because it gets quiet messy. In the end was a very long day but so worth it, big thanks to dad for spending so much time and effort on the body work. Jeoff for spending all day painting it and doing a spot on job, and Wells Bodyworks for the oven :y: Edited July 23, 201115 yr by shLONG13 Report
