But before we apply primer there is a lot of work that needs to be done first. This includes masking, wiping down the car and building a paint booth to protect the floor and everything in the garage from over spray. This pre-painting ritual is an all day ordeal.
But now it's done and the car is looking super sweet. Check out the masking of the hood. I am getting better.
I didn't do too bad masking the rear window either.
I found out there's a drawback to using the plastic sheeting. Paint doesn't adhere to the plastic so when you come back to a previously painted area the spray gun disturbs the plastic which sends bits of dried paint airborne. I think I'll just use masking paper in the future.
Check this out. The body lines are gorgeous. You'd never know those wheel wells had been cut out.
What more can I say.
Even the fake louvers look good.
As do the front fender louvers.
I double checked the point on the stinger. It's straight as an arrow.
That's just sexy.
Now we let the car sit for a good week or more to let it dry. After that we will do some light sanding (no guide coat) followed by scuffing with a Scotch Brite pad. More on that later. In the mean time I think we will start working on the hood.
We should see color soon, even if it's only a black primer/sealer.
Thanks for watching.
