well, it was a lonnnnnnggggg wait but Baby finally got painted yesterday.
He sprayed 3 coats of base color than wetsanded it down before spraying on the final coats of base color. Than two coats of clear.
He's letting the paint set up over the weekend than he said it will take about a weeks worth of wetsanding/blocksanding the clear and final buffing. after that it's reassembly time and Baby will be home again!
YAY!!!!!!!
the color in the pics is a bit off because of the lighting and the camera but in person she looks great. In person that paint looks about 3 feet deep and still looks like it's wet so after the wetsanding and buffing I think she will look spectaclar. This is so much more than i ever expected when i decided to do this project.
Oh, now that the car has color again other than just primer gray, it's really easy to see how the body lines really have come out with all the work Joe put into the car. I thought it looked pretty good before, but now that all the body filler from previous repairs was removed and Joe worked on every inch of the car the difference really stands out and is very noticable. It practically looks like a completely different car.
I'm very, very happy with the results and can't wait to see her after wetsanding and buffing.
The results, even now before the car is done, are so much more than I ever expected or imagined. It's been a long time coming but it was worth the wait.
sorry about the quality of the pictures. the way he had the car sitting in the shop there was very little room to get any decent pics but it should give you an idea anyway
lot's of detailing work to clean her up after Joe is finished with her....
