Dodge Minivan Project

This minivan has peeling paint. Stripping the paint with a razor blade is addictive; once you get started, it is hard to stop. This van also has previously repaired damage on the rear hatch.

The students scraped all of the paint off of the roof, hood and fenders. They repaired the rust from the bad body work on the rear hatch. After priming and block sanding, the students, Stephanie and Ryan, sprayed the basecoat and clear coat. Their color match was off so they went ahead and prepped and painted the rest of the van.
