Hey guys, I am a new owner of a 92 3000GT SL. I bought it for 1500 with about 100K miles on it. Just got serviced and smogged.
Paint was completely faded, chipped and bubbling. Got it painted from a Friend for $400. So in all i have spent $1900
I am a college student. Looking to build up this project.
If you guys have anything to offer, like parts, knowledge, etc. Let me know

Here is the car before and after paint:

WOW! That paint looks fantastic for $400! Good job!

looks like we have another "good" 3s owner here! you would be surprised by how many buy the car and do no maintenance and degrade it until it breaks then complain about reliability. I hope you turn that car into something really nice

Thanks guys! I am really starting to fall for this car! The handling is amazing
Anyways, here is a quick update, My rear window trim was all rusted and ugly so here is what i did.

Before: All rusted and ugly


Sanded using 220 then 400


Now painted black using
-Self-etching primer (stops the rust as well)
-Painted with semi-gloss black (2 coats)
-Then Clear gloss (2 light coats)


I Think it came out great, let me know what you think please
