Preparing for paint
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2020 11:40 am
Hi guys, I've been away for a while finishing up uni (one exam to go!), starting a new job and moving out! whew! Hope you're all doing well and staying away from the big 'rona virus.
I'm finally able to restore the Preludes 5G bodywork and I'm looking on getting a fullish respray and I want a decent job done. I do not want to remove the glass if I can avoid it so I would like some advice on what can be left in and properly prepped/taped up and what must br removed for a good result.
I'll be stripping/rebuilding the car myself, leaving the prep and the paint to a bodyshop. I'll remove the sunroof and front door glass and surround, I've already removed the front windscreens rubber moulding and I reckon the car could be painted without taking the glass out, but I'd like some experienced advice on this. Not sure about rear window and rear quarter glass either.
Cheers.
