Picked up a couple of pints,,hicup, to "test" a panel,,, had a quart of chromaclear left over from the 660z.

wow. I would eat off of that.

I almost picked a 2006/10 pontiac GTO/ G8 orange and Suby silver, however this is my gut/first instinct color, pewter effect and super black. Thanks Acote
The pewter looks a little green to me in the pic, but is has a bronze tint in real light, must be the "effect" (pearl) and the 10 colors in the formula.
Test results: PASS

They are beautiful and your prep work is immaculate.
This is gonna look good, can't wait!

Wow that looks awesome. Should turn out better than planned! I'll definitely come to you when I'm looking for bodywork tips.

If it looks half as nice as your photoshopped car I will be pleased. (sans 50s and supercomps)LOL

Sure thing Alex. However, my techniques are archaic, like a rotary phone.

boy, I thought this would be a breeze,,,,, the test panels went so well. Made it 1 and 1/2 times around the car then,, wonk wonk. Gun problems.
I did eventually get around the car three times... lots of fuzzies.
I will be blocking a second time, due to inconsistent dry film thickness.

Ain't it grand?

I feel ya brother.

Its all Burrows fault. blocking twice,,,, sheesh,,,,maybe this one will magically turn into an SR20 car ,,, so I dont have to do this twice. I blocked 1 quarter panel ,,,,,,just to check,,,

What kind of gun you using?

^a really old 1977 devilbiss MBC. Thing weighs a ton. I had been using a $100.00 finex hvlp, primering 1 panel at a time. But it just doesnt throw down enough material fast enough for an entire car.

Still the fact that you have primered the whole car now is a big step forward!

Burrows fault!? What I do, what I do?!?!? Aw, you'll thank me in the end... You want a mirror don't you..? Now get to work! (insert cracking whip sound!)

Andy's looking great man! Very exciting times. With my brain and body slowly coming out of hibernation the thought of another project crosses my mind... Then quickly goes away!

Really looking forward to seeing the car! Not gonna let you too close to mine though, you'll find all the crap!

I don't know about you Greg, but I don't feel the least bit guilty!

Keep up the amazing work!
