Default Finally all in primer!

Yep, just finished putting the car in primer. This is Urethane Primer. It has high build, is easy to spray, and sands very nice. It helps reduce shrinkage in areas where I have done repairs.

Next step, guide coat, tons more sanding, minor filling, and more primer.

My hood fits terrible. It is too high on the passenger side front. It will require milling into the hinge, hood, and inner fender to drop it.

As of today, 2001 Audi Laser Red--very bright red, much like Torch Red, but a little more cherry colored(less orange).

Next week, who knows. I really want/wanted black. But I am worried about the overall quality of my body work, and the other problems that go along with black (heat, shows scratchs etc.)

I have strongly considered C5 bright silver.

At least for now, red.

Man that looks good. Looks like you went with ZL-1's all around. That's going to be awesome. I only wish mine was ready for paint. Keep the pictures coming, I need the inspiration! :D
