Automotivetouchup.com i ordered everything I needed from there. Paint, primer, bondo, sand paper. They've got some decent how to videos on their site too. Be sure to research wet sanding too if you have no experience painting. It adds a lot of time but the results are worth it.

All sounds good! Just ordered paint & clear to finally address the couple of small scrapes on my car's bumpers. Seeing how yours turned out and having all the sandpaper, buffers, tack rags that I use for other stuff, well, why not give it a shot!?

My body guy is tired of seeing me for my other car anyways...

Good for you! There was a moment when I started sanding I asked myself, "What the hell are you doing to your baby! ?" But after that it was really kind of fun and rewarding by the end.
Let us know how it turns out!

Yeah, I have about $200 in mine! But I have the whole front bumper and a few other trouble spots to take care of.

Now im like well while I have the paint gun out might as well shave the front emblem off, maybe remove the lines on the hood, maybe paint the carbon hatch and hood... Door ding, roof, fender... At this point I should just repaint the whole car.

My car is super swirly marked black.


Forgot to add my rear bumper also needs help... I still love it though

Started buttoning up the cage install. Should have the front hoop and collars all bolted up tomorrow morning. Then put the rest of the interior back, the seats and harnesses into the car, and then towing to the dealership to have the ecu synced. So excited
