My Car getting painted - Prt 2

Just an update... Kinda like the Matt finish look.
It's been in a shop for almost a month, I miss driving my car.

Woah. Then didnt remove the bottom cladding? That's a MUST on the SVX!


The cladding clips vibrate and compromise the corrosion protection which then causes rust to occur. The panels need to be removed to correct this.

Re: My Car getting painted - Prt 2

Agreed+1. Looks good but if thats the final paint their some "tiger stripes" on the hood and some wierd lines on the door. I hope it's primer though.

Re: My Car getting painted - Prt 2

Haha...sorry guys I forgot to post pics though I said "tomorrow" last week..

My car is still in the shop. they are taking almost too long..
But it's OK, no rush job needed. I got another transportation to use to go to work.

Here are the pics, still under progress. You might notice, but the roof is black.
Enjoy!

Ah, I've told them to remove those too but seems like they didn't. Hope I'm gonna like the result though..

I could have bought another half way decent '92 SVX for the price I paid...maybe.
But for now I only need one shiny SVX!

Re: My Car getting painted - Prt 2

Ryu as Green said, they really should have removed the panels. As for the sunroof, did they at least removed the weatherstrip?

Re: My Car getting painted - Prt 2

Agreed, Since they didn't remove the lower panels the paint will most likely peel,flake, or tear there now. looks good though

Re: My Car getting painted - Prt 2

wow...looks great! Here's to hoping there are no issues with the panels not having been removed. I'm currently re-painting mine and I decided it wasn't worth my time to pull those, break all the clips, risk breaking the clip mounts on the panels themselves and be looking at $500 worth of replacement panels when I could've just dealt with minor paint cracks and chipping along that parting line.

What kind of primer did they use?

Re: My Car getting painted - Prt 2

Hmm If anything goes wrong, I'd use their warranty and let them fix everything! Right now I think they are putting all the parts together so I can't really turn back time and let them remove panels. When I pick up my car and see anything wrong with it, I'd leave the car there and let them correct til I get happy with. Until then...
