The car is in the paint shop now. I took samples from various areas over the car to determine what was on it and the order of application so that we could recreate the original colors and sequence of application accurately. The colors of the new primers and paint were painstakingly matched to these colors. The entire underside of the unibody, firewall, and aprons were originally painted with a very hard and glossy coat of black paint/primer, but not on the exterior of the core support (the factory markings are being preserved in their original state). There was no red oxide under the body or on the exterior of the car, only in the trunk and interior of the car. The exterior body panels, and the exterior of the core support and aprons were all shot with gray primer as it was originally. Put lots of effort into doing the procedures in the same order as the factory. Also in recreating the original factory skid mounting points and overspray even in places that most folks will never see once the car is put back together.
