Inexpensive Paint Rehab
When I bought my Demon it was a good 20/20 car (looked good at 20 mph and 20 feet away). To rehabilitate the paint I used a Preval sprayer (available at Lowe’s) and a good single stage paint. I was able to repaint the engine compartment, radiator supput, door jambs, trunk jamb, front and rear window channels (removed windows of course), and the inside of the doors and interior metal c-pillar pieces. I also touched up the bottom of the rockers and quarter panels. After paint I used a 2500 grit wet paper and then buffed with a basic hand drill and polish. This was definitely an inexpensive rehab. I used the Preval sprayer because I do not have a paint gun or adequate compressor. This made my Demon a 0/10 car (looks good from 10 feet standing still). Anybody can do the same thing with minimal investment and skills. Check out the pics…
