I made a one off pearl paint code, for a single stage paint job since I am sure I will smash this car up a bit tracking it. So why spend a ton on paint right? The paint code is based off a mitsubishi color with some of the paint code removed from it. I could post the formula is some one wants it.

This is just the super cheap $1 white spray can from Homedepo lol

Got some goodies, worked a 16hr shift last night, got off 130am went to pic up a GTS gas tank (thanks johnathan!! seriously cool guy!!!!) started test fitting the nissan sending unit in the tank, i am going to have to make an adapter or have a welding shop put one in for me, but this is on it s way! 

I also picked up some stuff to make a camera rig, that will mount to the car. cost less the 100 bucks and has highend suction cups, go pro mounts, aluminum square stock, and folds down!!! I bought a bunch of homedepo 99 cent paint too hahhahahaha

I Definitely got some work done today! Started masking off the car

outlined the window trim as close as I could ( I would recomend removing all this if you where doing a professional job, it looks much better)

Used some garbage bags to cover the large areas

Started taping off the rest of the body

Dont forget to cover up everything you dont want paint or overspray on

Start shooting your color

Started unmasking it all

Drilled holes for the corner light and put the bumper back on

Test fitting the fender flares over the origin over fenders. This is pretty much how the car is going to look after I get a better paint job, but for now it looks ok!
