Restoration Paint

The paint work is about the only part of the car's restoration that I did not do myself.  I had a local restoration shop that specializes in vintage VWs do the paint work for me.  They chemically stripped the outside of the car as well as the engine compartment.  There was no need to take the undercarriage, interior, or trunk down to bare metal as there was no rust and the paint was still solid.

After stripping the car, an epoxy based sealer was sprayed and then high-build primer which was sanded down.  The color is the original BMW color Topasbraun Metallic (BMW color code #13).  PPG products were used throughout the entire job.
