Update, I just painted my E30 and I'm building a 3.0 stroker :)
I've done a couple track days since the last update and the motor is getting tired. I still drive it to work occasionally.
I started to hate how the car looked with the peeling clear coat and decided to do a 'quick' scuff and spray. It never works out to be 'quick' though does it? What it looked like
Patching rust holes
After many many many hours of sanding and bondo and welding, all sanded with 220grit and cleaned
Hit it with high-build polyester primer
Block sand primer on whole car with 220 then 320
Shoot a gallon of single stage acrylic enamel. Hope you can get 3 coats out of a gallon but barely get 2... also use the wrong reducer and make the paint go on super dry and ruin your hard work :(

It should look awesome for the 5 or 6 straight weekends of really hard work me and my friend put in. But then again I did shoot it on the side of my house without a booth and with few skills :)
