Update. figured the jams would look weird white so the idea is to repaint the jams and the trunk hinges and the sunroof jams.

70. Eric (pro body and collison guy and best friend)


71. thought Repainting the Jams would be legit cant have a offtone color.


72. Mr. Bruce


73. Eric and Josh helping me tape.


74. Took wipers off.


75. Josh Being my Slave mwuahahahahahaha


76. Trunk Plastic, taping and such so its easier to paint.


77. Interior had to put the junk in the trunk in here


78. The Hood Still wet sanded.


79. White Door Jams? no go.


80. Not forgetting the sunroof.


should be finishing taping and painting the touch ups. then clearing it POSSIBLY next week.

Looking good bro! Definatly glad you are painting the door jams. The color looks great, im in to see the finish product, and in my opinion the car looks amazing for a first time painter.

Not sure why you took everything apart in the first place and put them all back for paint, why not just paint them individually?
