I spent about 6 hours today, sanding and fixing small imperfections. I was doing good, until I mixed my primer and priming part of the quarter panel, my brand new HF pneumatic air compressor decided to stop working. I spent a few hours trying to figure the issue to no result. I ran to sears at 8:30 pm and they didn't have any decent one in stock, I guest I have to wait for tomorrow.
The quarter panel looks pretty nice and straight. I was happy I also ran to another issue, i noticed that the the hood is bubbling up at different spots. the hood was previously primed by the PO, all I had to do was patching small holes. also the primer cracks all over the jambs ,( the primer that was sprayed by the PO. It looks like after he had the car media blasted, he primed it. I am not sure if it is happening because the car was sitting for too long with the epoxy primer without sealing. The good news is that, I changed the doors trunks and i had to redo the putty work on the fenders to properly mount the flairs. i know that I may have some of that primer somewhere on the fenders , covered with putty. hopefully they will be fine. I will remove the front hood and use airplane paint remover to remove the old primer and re-prime. I was reading on one of the treads that when priming the bare metal, there is a step to follow before priming. I think i had ti use 40 grit to help the primer catch the metal. I will be looking for that thread. I will post some pics tomorrow. |
