Sanding



Today I ordered paint for the crx.





Its Arctic White, which you can find on the new corvettes, some BMW's etc.




This is far from that quality but its the same color. Justin dropped off his compressor and paint guns yesterday and sometime in the next or so we will paint it. I will make a paint booth in the garage with drop cloths, box fans and shop lights. Today I started back up sanding it. I had sanded the roof a few weeks ago using the finishing sander that dad and mom got me a few years ago. It's working surprisingly well. This car was painted cheaply, very cheaply before so I am just sanding through the bad paint and into the good Honda undercoat. Some spots are down to bare metal but no biggie. It only took 30 min to do the first 120 grit sanding on half of the car. Gotta do the other half and then go get some 400 grit and do it all over.
