5: Primer time.Very important since this will
be a new barrier sealing everything done through Stage
4. The primer coat is a reflection of what was done, and
it becomes the new surface to be worked with until it
is time to paint. |

 |
Stage 6: Prep to Paint,
requiring a very patient and meticulous person to go over
and over the work done by the body man until it's ready
for the painter, who will turn the last surface into what
will finally reflect all the work put into your car. |

Stage

by the painter before he starts; only a VW specialist
painter knows where your car needs paint the most. |

Stage
8: Polishing. The body is fully inspected by
the painter before he starts to color sand the new paint,
at this time if he finds any problems, it's the time to
fix it, once all sanded the tedious 4 step polishing procedure
starts; only a VW specialist polisher knows how important
the glass finish is and where! |

 |
Stage 9: Assembly.
Finally, it is time to bolt on all the restored parts
back on the body and chassis, during body work and painting
allot of time is spent inspecting, restoring, finding,
buying, fixing and cataloging all the parts for reassembly. |
