Anyone in the CT area
So i am about to start sanding down my car hoping to go remove rest of ground effects today and possibly lights and such but will be sanding soon i am going to try doing my own paint job to save soem money if it doesnt work out i am just gonna sand it again and send it out. I was wondering if someone lives in the area my car is in Sothington Ct if they had some spare time to swing by and maybe loook at some of my small problem areas and tell me if its fixable by me or what it would cost to repair i know i have a small hole (or i hope its small) that was filled in by previous owner on the edge of the rear passenger side wheel well and some other rust issues i dont know if i can sand down and body filler the spots of if somethign further should be done

There is a guy name Matt (camaro430sut), PM him. He works at a body shop and does lots of paint work on the side. He has painted probably somewhere between 5-8 guys cars on that board including mine.
While there, check some of the project threads so see some of the cars he painted.
He does great work.

Re: Anyone in the CT area
I live in Southington, CT; off of West Center St. Normally any rust if not surface should be replaced with another piece of metal and welded; but if you'd like i could look.
Also Matt is very good; ive seen some of his work in person; i actually plan on getting my paint job done by him. He seems like a nice guy, normally everyone communicates with him via necf.
camaro1185; how much did you pay for your paint job with him? and what kind of color scheme did you go with?
