How were you able to remove the rear quarter window weather stripping? I was under the assumption the glass and stripping were one piece. Let me know. I would love to be able to remove mine before I paint it. Thanks.

Nope.. i just pulled it off.... the only thing that holds the weather stripping there is sealant, i talk to alot of ppl about it and ask about too... and i seen the write up on the 180sx quarter window replacement and thats how it was done just a good thick bead of sealant and just place the stripping on top of it and let it try

Looks good man, do you have a pignose fender on the driver's side? I see the pass. fender is just missing the valance, you plan on putting those back on?

yeah i got it.. im just waiting for the clear to dry completely before i start bolting every down.. but yeah the driver side was already a pig nose fender when i got the car....

[Jadesr20det]

Looks good with the light on it it looks like the escalade white/pearl.....i like the idea of two tone but this looks good as well however, i would have went w/the sil front...seems like everyone is getting paint now must have been good little boys and girls ....good job on the stripping i just taped mine off

[240sx_in_209]

yeah i dont know i notice that too.... alot of ppls cars got painted, i wanted too but the two tone but i didnt know what color to do it and didn't want to do the usual colors... so i just said f*** it pearl white and i loved it, s*** for the price it was nothing. I think all together i must of paid like 500, paint, binder pearls, clear, sand paper bondo, the paint booth.. everything so it was well worth it

[mattblancarte]

Beautiful work.

Thank you so much for not doing a jank-a** paint job like most folks on here.

[Conquerer]

Beautiful job, and for only $500? Very impressive. I'm looking to paint my car after I do some body work and I'll be very happy if I can get anything close the that price. I'll be doing it with my brother too.

[nevertheless]

Now final product.... Cut in polish coming soon rims getting painted and getting lowered

You should just get new wheels, are you getting coilovers?Paint looks good

What did you do for the jams? i want to have mine painted soon and have the interior all riped apart and getting ready, but the motor needs swapped in first which i wont have for 3 months, so i won't paint the body till then, but if i could paint my jams at home that would be sweet. Prep work still the same just sand it down and primer and sand and paint? Did you rattle can or do you have a gun at your house? I want mine white to yours turned out good what paint/primer you use? I hope i tape mine off good yours looks sweet

well the door jams.. didnt primer just wet sanded it, wet sand 400 then 600 then 800. then we put some bulldog adhesive promoter just helps it stick to the little peaces might have missed. We took the doors and fenders completely off. Just spayed 3 coats of white, then the pearl and clear and just let it cure for a couple of days before putting the doors back on. The paint was called valspar. We have a big a** compressor and a actual good paint gun. Yeah taping took a white because it has to right. No point of going all that work and end up with white paint on your dash
