God damn that was a lot of work. I feel like I've been in the WYHI thread all day. Who the fuck needs a paint job!

Lol, I hear you but look at your great result!
Here is a warning, It can go back to what it was a lot faster than it did the first time. You must keep wax on it and try to park in the shade. Be proud.

Looks like the rear might be too faded to save? Looks amazing otherwise! Little bit of elbow grease goes a long way.

My arms were so damn tired by the time I got to the rear of the car. And I ran out of sandpaper. So It didn't get the full treatment that the hood did.

Thanks. But It can be better. Once I get my new shiny fenders from cali, I'm going to redo most of it.
