RSBob and Trackrash: The plan is to do the bulk of the body work myself and like you said, have a pro do the final prep and paint. I don't trust I can handle the paint gun well enough to get good results, not to mention the final sanding like you mentioned. In materials I'm using products I've used before with good results and have seen other cars used them with lasting results. Original color is Prussian Blue but I'm currently between Stone Grey and Fashion Grey.

This past Saturday I had the entire car sandblasted down to the metal inside and out. The body underneath the body work turned out to be in great condition. Though the car had between 2 and 3 layers of body work and paint in different spots that made it a bit tough for the guys to get down to the metal.









By Saturday night I finished covering the car in grey SPI Epoxy primer before any flash rust started on the surface. The epoxy sprays great and has great coverage. I gave it a second coat the following morning.






Nice seeing the shell in a new color and cleaned up. Next I plan to spray some ceramic insulation inside and start body work on the outside with a little feather fill.
