Prius Roof redo

After having plastidipped then duplicolored over the paint for a year it began to look bad. Here is the cracking and paint issues.  





Decided to chemically strip the roof. 

DAY 1





 

Started to eat through the factory paint, oh well.

 


DAY 2

 

Distracted by a skink lizard

 

Almost cleaned off.

 

About 3 bags worth of paint came off.

 

Taping off the areas.

Distracted by frogs
 

Primed

 

Distracted by a toad.

 

Roof antenna if you were wondering whats inside. Had to disconnect by taking down the headliner.





DAY 3


My first mask of the day.




 

It's not the best paint job but it's way better than what it was. Fixed a few more dents while I was at it. In your face AAA who said it would cost $1230 to fix the roof dents and only gave me $230. Took that money and fixed it myself with hammers and spray paint! Haha to Macco who quoted me $1100 to fix dents and reapaint after I strip the roof. You're crazy body shop who told me $3000 to fix the dents and repaint the roof after I did the labor of stripping it.

Keeping the antenna and wiper sprayer off for a week until the paint cures more so no imprints are made.
