    4 door= YES!!!

    As for the paint. Wait on it.. do the mechanics first. A ton of CA cars have that it's called CA sun. :)

    But when you do get ready to do it. Just sand it down as low as you can close to the metal. Use high grade primer even from a can (it's like $16 dollars a can for the good stuff). Then let it dry a few days as it will settle and pull in. Spray a bit of black paint over it. Wet sand with a straight block and then see how straight you got it. Fix any areas that need attention or if it's ready wipe off with lacquer thinner or even rubbing a. as you don't want any oil crap left over. Paint it and clear it. You can use cans. Honestly there has to be a local shop that can paint that for you.

    We do that sort a thing for $180 bucks out of a gun in a paint booth. Im sure there is someone local to you around the same price. Good luck!

        Nice start man! If you wait a few months I would gladly paint that hood calypso for you, I will probably be in that area in April or so.

        But as stated, do maintenance first, don't worry about paint for now.

        If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

          Moved to Vegas in the end of October last year and wanted to share a pic' of how she sat for over a month while I waited for the heat to go down so I can try to figure why the engine seized. Turned to be a quick fix.


          As you can see she was dirty but I painted the hood, front bumper before she went out of commission. Also painted the front trim and also dropped her all around.

          During the process.
