I had my old friend and his brother wetsand my Black 69 Chevelle before having it shot at Maaco, and it turned out sweet. As already stated, if it has a real good prep job done first, Maaco can actually do pretty good at spraying the paint on the car.

I would highly recommend "NOT" using rattle can primer on your car though bud........pay the extra to have them do it, or have someone you might know do it. I think you might be defeating the purpose of that great plan you got going.

This also means that the side moldings are coming off

here are some pics of my progress so far... all i got done was the spoiler taken off, and the front bumper and all the trim on the front. I am hoping to take my side moldings off today if it stops raining.
I know it looks like **** but i thought youd want to see it.

!Updates!

Well today I got a new door and a new fender to replace the damaged ones. I also primed my front ground effect and am almost ready to paint the bumper. Here are a few more pics of whatever...Notice my shirt with my car on it.
