So everyone told me. However it's only once you actually paint a car that you realise just how true this is! This blog will will only hint at the amount of work that has gone into prepping the Jagerbug for paint. Trust me, it's been hours and hours, days and days of sanding and spraying and sanding again. It'll all be worth it in the end.
Once we got the Bug back from RNJ Motorsport with our impressive roll cage fitted it was time to crack on with getting ready for paint.
It was all hands on deck filling and sanding until we were 100% happy with the finish.
After another coat of guide coat and rub down (told you there was a lot of prepping!) the body was reunited with the floorpan to transport it to the paint shop

The final filling was done mainly around the roof chop areas.
It was all hands on deck filling and sanding until we were 100% happy with the finish.
With all the filling done and sanded back it was time to apply a good coat of primer then a guide coat. This was sanded back and the whole process repeated several times over the entire car! Literally hours were spent getting the body as straight as possible in the time left.
Fast forward several exhausting days later and the Jagerbug was treated to it's final coat of white primer. Much to the relief of the sanders!
