Car has paint and clear coat applied. Will try to get some pics up soon but the garage has limited space with all the plastic on the walls (homemade paint booth). Letting the clear coat dry now and then going to sand and add more clear . Then going on a ski trip but will update with pics as soon as I can.

Here everything is with the car finally completed. Just need to go power wash all that damn yellow primer off the foam.






Also put on one of those $150 eBay SS spoilers and I am very happy with the results.

Whoa. didnt know this thread got brought back from the dead. It's pretty easy to fill the holes yourself. I only have minimal paint and body work experience (painted my 91Z and now my 99Z).

The costs will be wildly different if you pay a shop to do the work. The materials are relatively inexpensive but the labor will cost you.

I probably have the receipts lying around if you want to know exact prices. Everyone talks about how expensive paint materials are but I got all **edit DuPont materials and everything ended up costing me about $500 (and that includes an extra gallon of clear because I wanted a deeper finish) when a whole new paint job will cost you upwards of ~$3k.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.
