I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind.  Group: Members Posts: 124,451 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None  |
Last night I painted the front hood, the tonnaeu cover and both one-piece sides.
Results: from best to worst... Tonnaeu cover: Paint is thin but no orange peel, I'll keep it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Front hood: Orange peel, but only a few thin spots. I'll keep it as is.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Left side: a few sags and orange peel, but no thin spots. Repaint it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Right side: OMG! Did I do this with my eyes shut? Sigs all over, thin spots where you can see the primer and orange peel llike 30 grit samd paper. Complete sand and repaint required.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I reshot the left side this morning. Much better job. But I'll have to spend a few nights working on the right side before being able to reshoot it. Here is the left side in the booth, I mean my garage this morning. Attached thumbnail(s)
