Painted it yesterday Options

[1bad914]

I took the afternoon off yesterday and painted the car. It turned out well, the color is Saturn Yellow, L13M. I made one major screw-up, let's see if you can find it. This car is slated for a 327-300 SBC conversion. Every time I paint I learn something. I am living proof that anyone can paint a car, 90% prep, 5% paint and 5% luck! Since I live in Michigan, any part that is covered, gets a coat or two of Por-15, that's why the door sills and firewall are not painted. The car was white!

Skline you got it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I did not realize that I had missed it until three hours after I was done! I was sitting in the car at my son's football practice going over the job in my head and went "Oh Sh#$". Oh well, part of the process.That's one thing, anything you screw up can be fixed when painting a car. This is the third I have done, it is very satisfying, yet very nerve wracking! I get so nervous before I spray that my hands shake, I was still fired up 4 hours after I finished.

For those of you that paint, I tried PPG Omni MBC, it went down well, covered in three coats and was cheap! $66.00 a gallon! All of the basecoat, clear and reducers was less than $180.00, I paid more than that for 3 quarts of Dupont Chromabase by itself. We'll see how it lasts.
