Default The Refinishing Process

Hello everyone. I'm and full-time certified painter located in Harrisonburg, VA. I recently got hit by a deer and I decided it's time for a change. Yes, he ran into me, lol.

After the deer, I wanted to do the entire car since I had hit and run damage on the other side as well.


New wheels + rolling fenders and quarter panels for first time = more bodywork.


Getting Engine bay ready.


Removed and taped as much as I could. Very annoying process.






Un-taped, getting closer


Jambs painted.



Purchased a bumper with lip from a S2ki member. GO S2ki!!


Starting to tape.


Car is finally in the booth waiting for the sealer,base and clear.


After.




Getting wheels ready.

After.











I apologize for the low quality pictures. I will post some decent ones soon.
