    Respray Job

    Well, after much research and colour searching i have finally found the ideal colour to go for my respray....

    Here is a picture of my car being dropped off at Octane yesterday.



    I would recommend that you do your homework on what seals need replacing whilst undertaking a mammoth task.

    For my convertible, i also needed to see what is needed for the hardtop too.

    Here is a list of seals that were needed

    1- outer window seal front right
    2- outer window seal front left
    3-outer window seal rear right
    4-outer window seal rear left
    5- Aerial Grommet seal
    6- windscreen seal top
    7- windscreen Cowell

    Whilst i am at it, i thought it would be ideal if i replaced the front lip which has been chipped.

    Also buy the trim grommets which attach to the vehicle again otherwise the trim will be loose.

    Will keep you all updated.

    Thanks for your interest

          So update:

          Parts have started to arrive and car is being prepared for painting.
          They have already started on the doors, boot and roof and finding all the parts is a nightmare!!

          E36 M3 parts are almost non existent in UAE or GCC even. I have some parts come from Lebanon thanks to a fellow member and rest came from UK, Germany and US.

          Here are some pictures of the prep work going on. Will post some of the parts shortly.



          Cheers

                    Update 3,

                    All parts are now in, and so the car is fully prepped. Due to me rolling the fenders a little more needed more prep work than anticipated to get those lines back in check.

                    Also since its a convertible, needed to open the top flap as well in order to paint inside.

                    Engine bay is not too difficult to paint so cleaned the sides of stuff to get that full look without dropping the engine.

                    Also order chassis stickers from ADM to replace the ones on the car.


                    As i want a consistent finish, it's important that the first phase will be to paint the inner sides first. Reason being is that you want to put back the components ( ie doors, boot and hood) together for the final coat.

                    I will be coating 3 layers of colour and 4 layers of clear coat for added protection

                    Clear coat will be glossy and not factory clear, in order to over emphasizes the Colour.

                    The only drawback with that is that the glossy coat is softer than the factory standard making it easier to stone ship..

                    However i will be giving it a ceramic coating after i am done with the paint job so it will not be a problem.


                    This will be the first E36 car in the world in this colour

                            The spray process Update 3.

                            Now that the pieces were primed and sprayed individually as below



                            The interior was sprayed 2 coats and 3 clear coats

                            All pieces were sprayed individually first seperately and body.

                            Once the paint was left for 24 hours, second coat and third coat were applied in quick succession with 2 hours after one another and also when all
                            Components were put back together and completely aligned.

                              Final Update

                              Now that they finished the Alignment and all the prep work
                              Final coat on and 6 clear glossy coats to finish.




                              Putting it all back together...


                              This took a week and half , but worth it, since alot of new parts to install at the same time including Audio system wiring, amp, speakers footwell and tweeters, new headunit ( you have stripped down the car, may aswell fix anything which would need to be fixed bu stripping again now, so it doesnt cost you double labour).

                              For the lower part, new undercarriage aluminium kit cortesy of Jd designs USA, new inner well fronts, new side undercarriage , new rubber gaskets and trim for front, rear and new engine cowl.




                              And now the final result.....

                              The First Long beach Blue Metallic E36 in the world



                              Polishing and photoshoot tomorrow! Watch this space :)
