Note to self . . . and anyone else who cares . . .
Be careful when shaking spray paint as the can may burst without notice as mine just did. None got on the car though! dunno bout how the garage floor looks in white though.

yea really. while i was sanding more and more kept chipping off. the smallest area is now the ize of a football. I said i think it was a respray because in the engine bay some of the plastic has over spray. i dont know if its factory mistake or touch up.

Epic Failure. The hood and roof looked good until i removed the masking tape. Then all of the original paint came with it. Pics soon.

Any idea on cost of hood repaint if i did the stripping first?

Well ATM im just going to keep it out of the weather. In a week or two ill sand and repaint the entire hood. The rest of the body looks good though for the first coat. Sand and repaint later this week.

I think the most costly part of painting a car is preparations, ur gonna save at least half maybe more doing the prework yourself.
Any news on the headlight?
