Well....I've had a lot of work done to my car in the past couple of days. First off, I chipped off a bunch of paint that was peeling on my passenger door, and man...it was a lot. Whoever prepped the car for paint before I owned it did a really shitty job. So I had to go and get all of those chipping edges down. My dad did some minor body work & filled in some areas with Bondo. Then I proceeded to sand down my whole car with a DA sander using 320 grit sand paper.

After that, my dad threw some primer on some places of the car, so I block sanded them. He re-primered them again, and I block sanded them again. Then my dad shaved my Front Bumper Emblem holes and I sanded it to get it ready for paint. He also shaved the "acura" emblem off of my hatch. I'm leaving the Acura "A" symbol...but took off the "ACURA" one. Then I wet sanded the whole car with 500 grit sand paper, to smooth out the 320 scratches. Lastly, I wet sanded the edges with a Gray Scotchbrite & Bon Ami (Using bon ami while doing that helps clean the surface). My dad painted my front bumper, rocker panels & spoiler today. All I have to do tomorrow is tape it up, have it sprayed...then put it together. I'll post pics tomorrow evening when it's completed. Thanks for looking.
