You should probably know, that the car will rust again. Primer is porous and doesn't seal out moisture, and over time the rust will bleed back through the portions you stripped. If you want to keep the car that color, I would strongly suggest painting it with proper paint to keep it sealed, then re-spraying the primer on top.

So the wintersled is done, maybe need some coilovers...

+1 for rust primer! I know that problem... on my old W201 i started to remove some rust... turned out to be more than expected... since i can't afford a fresh painting at this point i just painted it with rust primer with rattle cans. looked like this in the end:







It sticked to the car pretty well for nearly 3 years (then i sold it). Just be aware of bird sh*t, it will kill the painting. Also be carefull at refueling. Gasoline will bleach out the primer.



Also you should go the rat way. You wont get a nice clean look with this painting anyway :P

If i get a dent or a birdshit, just clean it put some new paint on it, muuuuhahahahahaaaaa

I like it. Any close ups? What's the texture on that?

Sorry no close ups besides the bootlid pic.
The texture is smooth but not as smooth as factory paint, i could probably go over it with wet sandpaper, but i kind of like the surface.

Id like to see the cars finish.
