Steve I commend your bravery to tackle such a task :cheers: . I too have been itchin to start stripping my car for some fresh shines, along with fixing the few flaws that it currently has on the body. Each time I see a forum member decide to paint their car on their own it gives me more inspiration :) .

Good luck in the final stages :cheers:

You're there man! I sealed mine a couple of weeks ago, just did a bunch of bodywork and am resealing tomorrow, then primer goes on the day after that. Just wait until someone asks who did the paint, and you can say "I did".
