My latest set of pictures, painting the interiors of the car. I always find these areas so much more difficult to paint than the exterior of the car. With this done now, I can finish sanding the exterior and will be ready to paint in about a week.
But first I had to build a makeshift paint booth.      |

Don't recall seeing this thread earlier. Comparing your recent paint photos to your starting point is remarkable progress! Well done!

Really nice!
Great job on the makeshift paint booth - that makes a huge difference in ability to lay down paint without contamination. |

Although in the meantime, I do work a bit on all the other stuff for the car. Appreciate the compliment! QUOTE(bkrantz @ Apr 28 2022, 06:52 PM) Nice paint work. Thank you, I have been painting cars since I was in college and I took an autobody shop class. After that I worked at a dealership in San Diego painting cars.

Great job on the makeshift paint booth - that makes a huge difference in ability to lay down paint without contamination. Thanks! I agree, there is no way to paint a car without a booth. I should have shown a bit more of what I did but I was in a hurry and didn’t take any pictures. I have 2 fans set up, one on the back of the booth and one at the front. The one at the back is set at a slightly higher speed so that I have positive pressure in the booth. The one at the front with the lower speed helps with removing all the overspray and I have filters at both ends. |

QUOTE(slowrodent @ Apr 29 2022, 11:41 AM) Thanks man, I'm happy with the way it's coming out but I am even more happy to have this almost done to were I can start assembling the car. Today I prepped the car to get ready for paint this weekend. I already told my wife not to bother me all weekend because I was going to be busy, you can imagine how that went (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Got the car in the booth and ready for masking, tomorrow I'll do a final surface cleaning and start spraying color. Time to get this smurf painted.     |

QUOTE(Freezin 914 @ Apr 29 2022, 05:49 PM) Thanks, glad you are liking it! So went Saturday to the shop to start spraying and everything was going good until my compressor started spitting out a lot of water. Drained the tank but it would still keep doing it. Had to stop and went to a friends tire shop to borrow his compressor, gotta love my little Datsun truck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) The only problem was that by the time I got back and had it all set up it was too late to start painting.  Then on Sunday I was at a car show in Coronado and spotted these two beauties, don't know if anyone one here owns them   |

So no paint on Saturday, no paint on Sunday but Monday was my day. I left work early to go paint the car, this time without any problems. I'll leave the car in here for the rest of the week and on Saturday I will paint the doors and trunks.
