    Rear Bar - assume you are also taking this off to paint seperately.

    Are you taking off the edge trims around pillar and seals for targas, etc?

    Seems a shame to push the 747 out of the shed to make room for the Zed:LOL:

    I just finished painting mine

    Looks like you got everything sorted... even the door handles are out... when i took mine out, i noticed that the handle itself actually sits to close to the handle frame and scratches the new paint if you lift it all the way... but you would never notice it. I only did by chance, see if yours do the same ???

    Wish i took pictures, by the time i finished working on the car, i either fell asleep or forgot to take a photo.... finally only got the photo of her under the plastic once she had her first coat of black (see profile for pic)

    So your doing better then me. Most important part i thing is documenting everything and you'll be suprised how useful photo's end up been if you forget where the heck you stripped out a part from :LOL:

    Can't wait to see the end result... i guess most important thing is even coat... using a stand or poles helps to keep equal distance from car when spraing...you probably know that anyway but always best tip to avoid runs is to use something to help keep the gun moving at the same speed and distance. (should have photo's of mine finished in 2 or 3 weeks, just finishing up minor final touches etc)
    ALL THE BEST

    Just wait till you put it back together - then you'll know what slow is

    Have an extremely patient buddy to help line things up without scratching anything.

    Be careful if you take the lock off to repaint the door handle - the plastic trim ring is likely to be brittle
