Original Chrome Yellow paint - base coat in the picture.
Lessons learned: If you suck at drywall (plastering) then you will have a hard time doing body work. 3 coats of sandable primer will cover most errors. (good thing) Under reduced paint blobs. Over reduced paint runs. A smalll undectable scatch in the primer coat will show up big time in the base coat and make you feel like torching the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) One coat of clear coat will cover the scatches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Chasing clear coat to blend in overspray and orange peel is futile if you don't know what you are doing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) All in all it turned out pretty good for my first real paint job. (other than stock cars) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Had a Pro come in and look at it, he said "good job, just wet sand these few areas and put one more coat of base coat and it will look like we did it in our shop." I hired him on the spot to put my last coat of clear coat on for me. I now know my limits!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() |
