My Love Bug Helped me fix my VW Bug!

So the other day I come across a major issue with my little Volkswagon Beetle! Some jerk ran into the side of my car and left a dent, but no insurance info! Along with a dent, there was a lot of paint chipped off! So I wasn't sure what to do and it was going to cost me a pretty chunk of money to have someone at a shop take care of it. I had my husband look at it. Since he's a pretty handy hunk to have around, I thought may be we could do a fun Hubby & Wife project!   It easy using a professional portable sprayer.


So we went to the internet and started to look for the new part that we would need to get to replace on my poor little bug!

-New side skirt from manufacturer - comes primed
-Yellow coded urethane auto paint for '08 Bug - You can find this at Finishmaster
-Urethane Clear Coat - You can also find this at Finishmaster
-Use Preval - spray at least 2 coats of the paint/reducer, let dry and 2 coats of clear coat

I let my muscly man take care of replacing the side skirt thingy, brought him some homemade ice tea and waited to pull out my handy Preval Sprayer!

The car looks GREAT! So pleased with how it turned out!
