This is about a project Hubby and I did long before I had this blog. When we were still in our early twenties, this is how I DIY painted my car! Proof that we are bona fide DIYers, lol 😉
Charlie in 2009 |
Painting the bumper – 2004 |
See? Rust issues |
Apparently not the right way to tape off a car |
See? Blue hatchback issues too . . . Check out that head of hair on my cutie hubby! It’s so unfair, he doesn’t even want it!! |
Apparently a field is not the ideal place, but its use was free, so the price was right |
An “after” shot taken the same year |
Now, THIS is a pretty awesome DIY “before & after”. Does this give us serious DIY cred?
Anyone else tackle a waaay too big DIY project and feel totally overwhelmed? In the weeks it took us to do this, I kept thinking: “I can’t believe I ruined my car, I can’t believe I ruined my car”.
Oh my God, Tanya! I just saw this! This gives you serious DIY creds! I mean, Serious!!! It's quite evident creativity really runs in you (and your husband, of course), to pull this off in 2004!
Haha, thanks! Oh man, we were so fearless back then! We had so much energy, too. We were both working full time, plus I had two part-time jobs and we'd drive an hour out into the country to sand and paint. Took FOREVER, lol.
