well I thought I would start a new thread since I am repainting my entire car now. You probably read the hood respray thread so you know the issues I had and created. Well my NOS hood arrived today and its in almost perfect condition a few scratches in the primer and one small dent, but hey after I get all the dents in the pannels done I will be an expert at small dents. I have RR fender and doors left to remove the old paint, using a dewalt grinder with a stainless steel wire wheel and it works well and FYI the total paint thickness on the car now is .040" thick in mills is that 40 ? No offense but body shops unless you watch evey thing they do on a daily basis and put every thing in writting you want done, you will get taken advantage of and thats why I am doing it myself. You would not believe the crap I have uncovered, bondo over paint, paint that came off in sheets due to improper prep. my LR pannel is tack welded to the body because they couldnt find the bolts maybe,,, ok enough well I have pics and will post some shortly.
