Smile new paint

Here are some more pictures after we put it back together. It was kind of dark so I did the best I could with the pictures.

We did it right in the garage you see. It only cost material and our labor was real cheap

It took about 2 months at about 20 hrs a week. We stripped the interior out and replaced what was bad also. If all we had to do was sand and spray it would have taken about a month. It also was repainted so we had to sand through all those layers before we hit the factory primer.

Looks beautiful. I second the motion on getting some good sunlight pics.
a month is about right. I dropped my car off with Dan on April 6th and I will probably pick it up this Thursday.

Congrats on a job well done!

I have an industrial compressor so thats nat a problem. I have about 5 oil and water filters on it. I sed an hvlp gun with a gravity feed cup. Just make sure you put on 4-5 coats on it so you can sand and buff afterwards.

Waldo, I see you have a Kia Sorento. I bought my wife one when they came out in 02. as an 03 model. I tell you for all the features and warrenty you can't beat these things. We love ours. Looks like you got the lx model, did you happen to opt for the 4-wheel drive? This is our first man what a differance it made through the winter. I drove through a pasture in 2 feet of snow (don't ask you wouldn't believe) me and had no problems at all.
For the 944 looks like you did top notch work. that is a beautiful car.
