I'll try to do this in steps for you but may back track at times.
Some supplies to get you going, brought to you by 3M, lol. You will need a good automotive paint store for this stuff.
1. Masking tape, and lots of it. I recommend 3M's 233 high performance. It's bright green, and you'll need at least 2 rolls of 3/4 inch and 2 rolls of 2 inch. Probably more as we go on.
2. One box of Scotch brite scuff pads, part #07777 or something like that. I will get the number for sure tomorrow.
3. One roll of 18 inch paint resistance prep paper.
4. A knife, one called an "Olfa Knife" with break-off blade tips.
5. A good nylon plastic squeegee, 2x4 inch.
6. Sandpaper, some 320 and 500 grit to start with. If you have rust you will need 180 and 220 grit as well, along with bondo and a hardener. A sanding block is always good.
We will start with that, let me know when you have most of this stuff. Don't get discouraged, takes time and $'s to get rolling. You'll see why it cost $3000 to do this right by the time your done.
What shape is your current paint in? Any rust or bubbling, paint and/or clearcoat peeling? Most shops would end up re-doing any prep work you already started just to cover their own rear (warranty issue) not knowing what or how you did things. I'll help you out anyway I can if your really interested in doing this. You'll need a good digital camera and another vehicle to drive, cause this is not a weekend thing. You can do it
Thinking the limiter is around 117-121 mph. Probably wrong, it's been about 5 years since I've seen this subject. We all just got used to how slow our cars are, lol.
Well, today is the 1st time I was a die hard "Pats" fan. Wow! What a great game, and thanks Brady for bring it back to Indy. Regardless of the outcome now, I consider this a great year for the Colts. This next one at Indy will be the "game" kinda feel bad for the superbowl committee.
