Had the opportunity to work on the project a bit lately. Painted some of the suspension pieces, did a little detail painting and have done some prep work on the tub getting it ready for some POR15.
My painter and I have decided to pull the car out of the corner and get busy getting her done. I painted several small parts with Metal Mask from the folks that supply the POR15 paint. I was not impressed with the finish. It is tough to get the finish to look like it should. I did get lucky and the color of the metal mask is close to the color of my powder coated parts. I was able to use it on a couple of surfaces that the powder coater masked off but shouldn't have. Here are the metal mask painted parts Attached image(s)

I stripped the interior floor pans with every tool that I could find. Kept trying to find one that would make it easy - never found it. It has been knuckle scraping, finger cutting, keep on going kind of work. I've never used sand blasting, but seems to me that it may be the way to go on the interior floor pans.
I have used a die grinder with a 3M abrasive pad, an angle grinder with a wheel that looks like folded/faned sandpaper, a drill with wire wheels and a dremel tool. A drill with a cupped wire wheel works sorta good and then the dremel for the tight spots. Britain - yep - the powder coater called it "Black Chrome". He said that some shops call it Anthracite or Gun Metal. The coater showed me some pics of black Cobra Mustangs with wheels that were powder coated this color. They looked great. The pics of the wheels sold me on the color. I'm really happy with the color! |
