Minnesota Focus Owners Club

Because Tony and Sandy said out with the dents, rust, multi colored panels and bumpers!





Who says shave the antenna?

Damn Pat! Looking good! I'd say that's a TON of progress for one day

And be my guest, the antenna got shotty reception anyways!

I'm kinda liking the orange covering the car... maybe you should paint it orange

Looks good so far though!

that color is manilla. its a simple match, got to office max and get a folder, then take it to any paint shop and go id like this color please

What color should I paint each panel?

Nice work Pat! Has my mirror become a mixing pad for body filler?

Did you take the rear bumper off too?

Sandy says it's not too late to paint it pink

The mirror wasen't a mixeing pad but the moonroof was Thats just plastic on top of the mirror.

I did take the bumper off very simple will make it easier to paint that one off the car.

Sorry I only have marron, silver, black and Spruce Green Metallic... Pink would cost extra

i say bowling ball black(its a gloss black base with a silver tinted clear wiff da swirl effect), or a base of brandy wine red with high metalic silver marbled into it with a light candy tangeriene clear.

How about a pink base with a white pearl clear? Or a white base with a pink pearl clear.

Any of those options sound quite a bit more exciting (and expensive ) than spruce green

Well part of its painted...











Apperently primer does not like to stick to bare metal unless you use the metal primer witch I forgot to put down...

Here is what happens as you can see the spot where it is flaking up... I'm a little disgrutled but I guess I have to relearn my misteaks...

That looks pretty good so far! How did you go about this (i.e. rattle can, etc)?

You cannot get results like that with a rattle can.

Looks great Pat.

I'm using a spray gun.

Thanks for the comments
