Default Repaint pictures 86.5 start-->completion
Today I finally finished the respray of my 86.5.
This day we completely polished the car in 3 stages high gloss.

In the past two months the car was completely stripped and repainted.
The left and right front fenders were badly repaired so I mounted new (to me) fenders.

Most rubbers were also replaced and the aluminium window trim was glass-blasted and repainted in satin black.
The window tinting was also replaced, and the rear bumper was modified for a bumperette-delete.

Last but not least the side marker lights got a mild tinting (black) so they dont stand out as much.

Sorry for the crappy picture quality, next weekend I will make pictures with a professional camera.

Cheers
Michel

Looks beautiful. Did you do the disassembly yourself? Or did the shop do all the work?

Yes, I disassembled the car in my garage, brought it to the paintshop on a flatbed, and reassembled in my garage.

Was great fun, but also much more work than anticipated.

Car does look like new now, if i may say so myself :-)

I was thinking of delving into doing my 90S4 and would live to hear how long it took you to disassemble the car, how much$ for all the rubber bits and how long to put everything back. Any gotchas and what you would do differently.
Thanks
Bilal

Hoi Michel, mooi geworden! Neem je de auto mee naar de sleuteldag van de PCN 928 a.s. Zaterdag?

Translation:
hi Michel, your car turned out really beautiful. Will you take it to the wrenching day of the Dutch 928 club next Saturday?

Herman - I lived in Madurodam for a few years.
