Here's one of my distractions that's been taking up time that I should be using to finish my engine build. I picked up a set of front struts and brakes from a 1972 911T for a 5-lug conversion. Here's my progress up to this point..
Struts: Bead blasted, just primed one tonight... Will be painted satin black. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE Eric, what do you use on your stuff? Semi-Gloss Black Powder. Easy and it looks great and; no, I don't subscribe to the powder nay-sayers out there. If done properly by a professional shop you get GREAT results. As with life... preperation is key. Check the 356 or the Early S Registry for accurate paint codes but; IMO, the factory used a toned down gloss black enamel that was baked on which gave it extra durability. Any professional painter can add a gloss agent to semi-gloss to get the desierd luster. I think Bryan's looks pretty close. |
