I guess I'll put my repaint thread here.

Started tearing into her a few days ago, a little each day. I peeled off the painted over stripe. Then I took apart the doors, all the seals (which I am replacing with new). All the lights are out. And I filled in the antenna. I am trying to keep everything organized.





here is the new billet nose emblem that will go on after paint.

Looks like your off to a good start!

Hopeing to get all the dings fixed and the door jambs painted before this coming weekend is over. I will be pulling the hatch and painting the bottom side and the seal channel then reinstalling it before painting the outside. I was thinking of reinstalling the spoiler but spacing it apart from the body with washers so it has a uniform finish with the rest of the paint. And paint will be able to blow up underneath it. Drip rails and other window trim will be redone with trim black. Along with headlight pockets and grill area. Now I want your opinion on door handles and locks. Should I repaint them black or do them body color?

[Gregs_gsxr]

body color for sure

[86sc5]

I should have put this in projects.
