There was alot of rust ALOT on there rear section s and the hatch so I had to grind all that down so I could get the rust off so it was bare metal. I am also going to white instead of green so I used light grey primer. I also primered the intire car because I live in a nice gated community and the old people complained that it was more than one color so I said fuck it and primered the whole thing. The hood was already primer grey because it also was very very rusty when I got it so I had to sand it all down.

you do know that primer is meant to be sprayed less than 24 hours before painting. Once primer gets water and other shit on it you need to take it all off. Looks good though

I heart 2G's

I would give you rep but it wont let me
