No pics again from this past weekend (Who wants to see block sanding? It never shows up in pictures...)

Friday and saturday spent 6 hours block sanding and on sunday spent 5.5 hours finishing the block sanding and doing some spot primer filler.

We are on track for paint next weekend, but peter is pushing for this weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif), At this point its a matter of everything going perfect and the Fiancee saying that its OK (She's busy next weekend so she already OK'ed it).

Signal Green - 2D8

Very nice choice. I was planning on my next project to use the same exact color. I am looking forward to seeing this when done.

Local paint store is having a hard time finding the factory color chip. We think we found it in another series of theirs. Im getting a small amount to test it with and will spray a test piece tomorrow.

Finding this color has been a PITA... LOL

Haha... Sorry Andrew for wanting to push it to this weekend. The reason I want to push for this weekend is that it will give me a really good chance to get the car put back together before school starts. If we don't do it this weekend I realistically won't be able to get to the car until thanksgiving because of water polo season and school... And that is a looooong time to be away from a freshly painted car.

Looking forward to seeing the test coat tomorrow!

So I sanded down the primer filler and there are still a couple of low spots... Damn these low spots, I should have done guide coat on them instead of filling them with primer filler. Now were pressed for time.

Tomorrow i'll spray the test piece and spray some more primer filler. Hopefully I can get the body hot enough to let the primer shrink so that down the road we dont have any shrinkage in the primer filler.

I decided that I'll sand down the low spots a little bit and put in some guide coat. I dont want to put any more primer filler on these low spots without having a long time for it to properly shrink.


Here is the list of things to do by Sunday.

Guide coat low spots
Sand down guide coat
Primer filler and block sand
Fill pin holes with guide coat
Block sand car to 320
Prep area under targa bar
Clean garage a little
Mask for painting area under targa bar
Paint area under targa bar
Remove hoods and prep seal area
Blow off entire car
Mask entire car
Prep garage for paint.

Here is Sunday

Clean garage again
Wax and grease car 2x
Tach cloth car
Mix white base primer and spray car
Flash
Check for full hide and put second layer if necessary
flash
Mix paint and start spraying Goal, 3 coats for full hide, 6-7 coats total.



Ya.. Sigh, Im not sure were ready (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Laid the test color. Its hard to tell if its the right color. I really need to get it in the sun to see what happens.

Oh and im going to unload all the pics from my camera that I have been taking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Don't know if its me or the flash on your camera making it look a tad to yellow? Here is a sample I mixed at work and did a spray out with.

Ill see if I can manage to get it for you. Are you set with using limco? Just call a different supply store and see what they can do for you.

We have tried calling but no one seems to have the ratio..

Yes were setup with Limco.

Heres it in the sun. This bluish effect is just my camera, the color is more green than the pic shows.
