Done.

Turned out better than I had anticipated. We have very little dust in the top layer of paint. A bunch in the first layer but that was due to the weather strip channels not being prepped properly.

There are a few runs, More than I had hoped, but they started popping up around layer 5. There are 7-8 layers on the car. 5 was required for full coverage over the area's that the black primer broke through, Those got the extra layer. There is less orange peal than I had anticipated which is good, but the runs are not something im looking forward to fixing. It was a lot colder than I wanted to spray in (I had anticipated 70 deg, it was around 65 and dropped to 60 at times. I had my space heater going when I was not spraying to keep the heat up in the garage and I feel that really might have helped (However I overloaded the 20 amp breaker ~ 4 times because of it... Shop lights, compressor, fans, and heater...).

Paint is very glossy and very nice looking. We do have some concerns that my 285 tires might not fit without a bit of a spacer though, I hadnt realized how close to the inner fender my current tires were. So I may need to add a bit of positive camber and maybe some 1/8" spacers. We'll see how that turns out as I will be getting the wheels off the car to get tires mounted.

Still to do. Sand runs off targa top and see if I break through the paint if so respray. Sand rear trunk and respray, sand rocker pannels headlight lids and spray. Wetsand and buff, rest of my list on page one.


PS Im not a big fan of the pic of me grinning like an idiot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Great Job planning this and getting it done.
You have a talent for laying down paint. I'm sure there are ways to do it better, but you prepped well, spend the time needed to get things right and it look great!

Mom says it's "ORANGE". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I say it's the new Red...

I'm thinking "Solar Flare"

Thanks all!

Chris, I'll have your tools in the trunk to return them @ American graffiti if I dont see you till then!

Mark, I am going to try and clean the overspray off the jambs with acetone. Trunks will be resprayed down the line.

Rick, 2005, but yes we went on the track together. This was prior to the bontempi HPH flares, I had hammered out the fenders and had 16x7 fuch's with 225 tires.

Dad, Solar flare is a good idea.. But I still like my other idea and think im going to go with it. It'll be an "unveiling" post when its all done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
