Prep pre and more prep then when you done that PREP IT!!!!!!!! Took me and a mate over 800 hours to prep my car and 3 hours to paint it. And we had very little rust to deal with.

Holy cow how did you rack up that much time? As a first year apprentice i did a restoration/respray on my VH Commodore. Working alone in the panel shop i was working in at the time, i disassembled, repaired, fully 2 pack primed, rubbed and painted the car and reassembled in 12 working days (10-12hr days)

If you saw it you'd know why. EH wagons have a lot of metal. We also did a lot of talking and subtle body mods.
