2012 Fiat Pop Exterior Metal Flake Mexican Blanket Kandy Paint job

Описание: Just a gal and her 2012 Fiat Pop. Exterior Mexican blanket, metal flake, Kandy paint job

SSSSOOOOO MUCH GOING ON with this little car!
This was my first go at planning and painting a car and if I must say so myself- I am super stoked on how it came out and I love the looks I get when I'm driving this little guy down the street.
One thing I don't like is how so many people think this is a wrap job!!!! noooooooo!!! this was hard work!!
So fun pulling this together, make sure to check the dash trim video.

Here we go
after the initial sanding with 150 grit sandpaper to prep the surface, I sprayed a silver metal flake, sanded that down with a graduating grits to get the smoothest surface with still some kind of mechanical bite. went from 150- 2000. This took about two weeks- boy were my arms tired, but the outcome was well worth it!

Stripes were plotted and planned, measured and the taping begins, 1/8, 1/2, 1/4, 3/4 and 1 inch 3M tapes used for a weeks worth of striping hood, roof, trunk, dash, vent, and fuel door.

After weeks of planning, and sanding and masking the stripes- it's ready for paint.
