Take your time with the prep work man... Don't use anything like 80 grit or 60... The lower the number in grit the rougher the sand paper is and it WILL eat into that fiber glass... You should be just fine using 180 and letting the sander and sand paper do the work. I think the idea with the stripes is cool also.. I cant wait to see this finished.
I personally love that SLP stripe package but i like it with the spoiler and hood combo. I'd rock it! Black on white would look killer.
Yes ive seen that stripe package before...its boss. Its gotta go the whole length of the car though including the roof.
I didn't know that just getting the old paint off would be like 10 hours of labor I mean I knew the only reason getting body work done was so expensive was becasuse of the prep work but this is insane I'm starting to wonder if Im oing omthing wrong Im just going at it with a dewalt orbital sander atleast I think its an orbital... with 180 and then when I get to the last primer coat I switch to 220 and go down to the gel coat
normal prep wouldnt take that long, but you are removing SEVERAL coats of paint, that takes time if you dont want your hood to look like a dog chewed on it.
I know its a daytona... hood is different... work it in to play and youll be golden
Unless you don't like it

yea Its a lot but this is the best place around I pulled up and a saw a vette and a 300z out there getting their estimates so I'll get a legit paint job not that stupid "autobody student" bull crap that caused this in the first place
well there are more than enough examples out there that show the professer isn't lol or that that he doesn't givae a hoot like for real who thinks its ok to put 10 coats on?
All I'm saying there is a reason so many of them can only say they went to school for autobody...
i went to school and work full time at a autobody shop.
yea the teacher would be over your shoulder like a hawk, but when you have 13+ cars being worked on at the same time, its hard to keep tabs on everyone ... so mistakes are made.
