Fender damage.

Slick! Thats one way to match the paint on the fenders.

A little more progress today....

Will this ever end?!!!
I wasn't satisfied with the mono-color of the car and there were a few imperfections on the hood and roof that bugged the crap outta me. So, because I have no life, I decided to try something a bit different. I've never been a big fan of two-tone bugs, but I had some extra paint and figured that I couldn't screw it up any more than it is! I stole the idea from the cover of HotVW's because I liked the way it looked. The black that I used has small metallic and mica flakes that give off a burst effect when in the sun. And I chose yellow as a contrasting dividing line between the blue and black.
Eh...I think it looks OK. I'd still like to paint it yellow.
I wasn't going to repaint it a different color because I didn't want the extra work of painting the inside and under the hood and stuff.....Geeze! 3 months later, and all of that "extra work" seems like a cake walk. Yellow69 and I were talking one afternoon and she suggested I change the name of the car to Beelzebug! That fits because this little thing is the metal embodiment of Satan himself and has sure put me through hell!

A few more....





I still have to paint the hood and it's trim, the license light nose thinggy (I never learned the proper VW nomenclature for that one! Sorry purists!) and wrap the rest of the car up and buff it.

Cheers

Cheech!

Bee's is just what he sounds like in 2nd gear...Bee's in a paint can! He-He...I've changed this post 3 times because all of the ones I've written so far have been too racy! WINK-WINK NUDGE-NUDGE KNOWWHATIMEAN??? SAY NO MORE!!!

You know Kitch...Can I call you Kitch? I didn't notice that until I rolled it out of the shop the first time. Lucky coincidence because I lack the pre-planing and imagination to purposely pull that off! Thanks!

Chug-A-Bug; I saw in your profile that your trade is in collision repair. He-he I guess if I can fool you into thinking I know what I'm doin', I can fool anyone!
Seriously though! Thanks guys for all of your kind words and encouragement!
