Ok, so after all that, I'm getting fresh air, and the guy in the house behind me comes over and introduces himself. He asked if I'd be 'airing that out all night, because I think were getting the brunt of it." I explained that I was JUST crawling in the garage to shut the door the rest of the way and apologized. Then I introduced myself...because I've lived here a year and 3 days and this is the first I've ever talked to him.

I REALLY hope I didn't accidentally paint anything of his 'saturn yellow'. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Well...that's it for today. *IF* all goes well over night, I'll be color-sanding tomorrow. If not, then it's time for touch-up!

I'm curious to see how the color sanding comes out. If you do yours and it looks great, how much to get you down here to do mine? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Good Job Doug.

I'm glad you got that regulator on the gun. I think that makes all the difference in the world.

BTW - you are making me look bad, I don't have jack crap done on my car.

Maybe I'll take a couple of days off (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Just went out and inspected...looks great! I'm going to do another coat tonight. I can tell it's a little thin in a few spots. Part of me just wants to start color-sanding, but a few places could use some glazing putty too...

I think I found the sweet-spot with the gun, paint, and car. One more coat, and I'm thinking I'll be ready to color-sand. THEN I gotta work on the hoods/doors. I need a bigger garage... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

You don't want me doing your car! I'm like a 14yr old that's just figuring out what PlayBoy is all about. It's hit-or-miss right now.

It's raining, so maybe now is a good time to paint it in the garage...

One more coat can't hurt...right?

No way...I'm flying out there on Friday. I SHOULD have this one back together and on the road by the 1st week in May though. Everything I'm putting back ON the car is new, so it should all fit a lot better.

As soon as I get the tub done, I'm going to do the brakes so I can put it back on the ground, and back it out of the garage. That'll free up the room to do the rockers, bumpers, valances, hoods and doors.

NOW I'm thinking... "The bumpers aren't that bad...maybe I'll just put them back on."

I'm going to have to FORCE myself to do those. Maybe I'll go hit them with some pink spray paint or something to force the issue!

Doug,

Don't do too many coats. You might start having adhesion problems. How many do you have on now, four or five? I'd stop there if it's covering.

Well Doug, It sounds like you've some "great" neighbors. You've got two choices:
1) Paint without the respirator and tell them that you're actually getting the "brunt of it"! or...
2) "Test" your spray pattern in his direction and with a big smile tell him your home owners insurance will be glad to take care of any damage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)

We are quickly entering the final stages of this restoration. :: Thank God ::

I just had my first 'Non Successful' night of painting. I've been lucky thus far, so I think I pressed my luck a little TOO far tonight. I got my first runs while doing the final-FINAL coat of paint. The good news is that I'll be color-sanding tomorrow, so I guess I can get rid of them. (Suggestions??)

Here's the big run...you can KIND of make it out.

The GOOD news is that the interior is ready to be put back together. Everything coated up REAL nice, and it should be a breeze to get it all back in there.

Everywhere else, I seem to be good. I really hope the color sanding helps get the dust specs, and runs.
