aiming or basecoat this saturday
one step closer to color
Just curious why everything wasn’t painted apart?
everything was, then we hung the doors so the outside can be painted on the car. That way the metallic matches from the doors to the fenders to the quarters
Sorry, that’s what I meant, Painted the entire thing with the doors,fenders etc… off the car. I figured since this car has all the time and prep into it you wouldn’t want tape lines on the jambs with it painted on the car. Good progress, can’t wait to see it all together.
got the top of the hood/trunk top and bottom all blocked. painted the rest of the jambs and under the trunk in color/clear, just have to prime/sand under the hood and it will be time for basecoat.
picked up the tires today, wheels will be here tomorrow.
spent the entire day working on the car today and got a lot done, pretty much ready for paint just gotta tape everything off.
under hood
after some trim black
wowww the underside of those parts look purdyyyyy cant wait to see some color on da’bitch
You guys are sealing the car before basecoat right?
car was already sealed brahhh
It looks like was primed, not sealed. Totally different products, with sealer you put it on shortly before the base(and dont sand, just let flash) to ensure that you have one color throughout the car to make sure that spots that got sanded through dont show up in the base(different colors, and edges sanded through will leave small “rings” that you can see), and they show a good amount especially with silver metallics. It also seals up and little final defects and sanding scratches.
yea we did the bodywork hit it with epoxy sealer then used highbuild primer for the final blocking.
You are still thinking of the wrong sealer lol. The one Im talking about goes on JUST before you spray the car. Talk to them about it nucka!

kool! i always thought that the center peice was used to put the wheels on. like a centerlock nut
yup on old shelby cobras they are centerlock wheels, 60s mustangs are 5 lug so they are just for the look.
