My girlfriend picked up this bare shell in November 2011. Within the first month, we've already finished the body work and paint. Comment if you want to see any how-to-videos on her car. We will record and take pictures as it comes along.
-------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Identify all the dings/dents and label them with tape so you don't forget where they are.
Step 2: Scuff up the dents with 80 grit sand paper.
Step 3: Mix the plastic filler with hardener, then fill the dents.
Step 4: After the filler dries, sand it down until the dent is blended in with the body and feels smooth.
Step 5: Apply a guide coat with a high-contrasting color. (In our case, we used black).
Step 6: Sand the whole car down with 320 grit to get all the gloss off.
Step 7: Sweep and clean up work area/garage so there will be minimal dust while painting.
Step 8: Use Prep-All to clean off all parts of the car.
Step 9: Apply 1-2 coats of primer.
Step 10: Wet sand primer with 400 grit.
Step 11: Apply two coats of base paint and 2-3 coats of clear.
