I have started some projects that are cash hungry and have left little in terms ofDelorean Dollars. Wanting to make some progress, I decided to troll the message boards for solutions to updating my facias and trim. They were in terrible condition as you’ll see in the photos. I told my children for father’s day that they could get me a few cans of SEM Trim paint and I’ld be happy. So got some wet sand paper, painter’s tape, and a shit ton of newspapers and got to work.
Now know this; I am a comedian for a living; an entertainer. I don’t know what I’m doing as far as exterior finishes on a car. Sure, I’ve done some projects here and there, but this to me, was a huge undertaking. So I taped everything off, and started sanding. it’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than what it was, and it ALL cost me less than $100. I painted the vents, louvers, facias, bumpers, and window trim. Like I said it’s not a $900 job from the shop. I did it in an afternoon in my garage listening to shitty FM 70’s rock . It was great, take a look!

Here I did the rear facia and license plate bezel as well.
Like I said, it doesn’t look that great, and there is some corrections I’ll have to make, but I did it all for under $100. That’s a good feeling when dealing with a vehicle that nothing rarely is under $300 to fix.
