I'm stripping, sanding, and beginning prep work on the car to paint mine as well. 1st time attempting it so I'll be watching videos and researching techniques and products to apply the paint. I'll also be fixing door dings and surface imperfections.Well we got a bunch of rain the past couple days. Something weird happened. My hood has peeling clear coat, I'm guessing it rained so hard water ended up getting under the clear coat and made it soft i guess. It was like blisters, I could squeegee water from the bubbles. Weird af. Water logged clear coat? Anyway, have a bunch of dents from hail damage so Dent repairs and paint prep start this weekend!!! It's gonna be a timely process because I've never done it but you gotta start somewhere right? I've always loved a fresh drippy paint job so I'm gonna learn how to do it to the best of my poor person abilitiesbest youtube paint channel anyone? Paint society? Also got some cheapo outside door handles in today and still waiting on keyless entry receiver to arrive.

Ill be watching and following.
Thanks I'll check them out too. I started watching paint society videos to start but always looking to learn more. Im.not gonna actually start the work till im confident im not gonna make it worse.
Doesn’t hurt to grab a part (like a fender) from the yard to practice on too! I plan on dabbling with paint next summer.

fought me every step of the way but it's soooo much better now that it's done. Passenger side was broken, driver side worked but had to.pull handle 3-4 times for door to open, and it wouldn't "pop" open id have to actually pull it. Not any more . Also swapped the keyless entry receiver but no luck as I still can't get into "program mode" to program new remote. I don't know what to check next on that. 
You'll have to let us know how that "G-Plus" cam cover survives the heat. They seem to be one of the only ones left making covers (which fitment may be hit or miss? hard to say), and I'm curious if the plastic they use can withstand the heat.

Man, did you sanded the surface under paint ? If not, whatever color start peeling off very quickly, even from plastic side skirt without plastic primer… and when tape something, do it with glass panels, wheels, etc… simply cover everything you dont want to be painted by mistake… im not professional, but i did many jobs and after years still holds together
When i looked for one this is all that I saw. Granted I did not take that much time looking. It fit on pretty well. Only issue was I fought with the bolt that goes through the gear cover and through the lower cover as well on the upper rear corner. And that was a problem with the lower cover and the attached nut moving when sliding the gear cover on. Took about 20 minutes to get it attached.
