All I can say is.. wow. I waxed one half of my hood today. Suddenly, I don't feel special.

finally..pulled my head out, blocked again, and mixed a full gallon of spray-able material, over reducing about 35 percent to reduce the fuzzies, 3 times around the car no hiccups!!!
now I can remove the doors and base clear the jambs, hang them, sand, clean clean clean and shoot it.(Next week)

Overspray. The inside of the roadster fins are my achilles heel. And the base of the license plate surround, Rear splash. Primer is thick and the Overspray is like gravel. Maybe the paint will lay down better. Not an easy car to spray. Small, but alot of crazy valleys and lines. Nearly every car I've painted I have scraped the gun cup on the roof :oops: . I have bumped the hose on Andy a few times.

Looking phenomenal - like the car, I'm "primed" to see the paint! :-)

I sort of figured out how to get around this car. Unfortunatly the paint glued itself to my glasses, so I was flying blind. It has been a 3 day 30 hour binge.

One for Victor

I opted out of the black,,,for now, as the patriarchs were non receptive to the idea.

And I ran low on tape,,,DOH.

WOW! Looks incredible!
Nice work. Surprise change on the color though, still I like the silver a lot.

Looks awesome David. I looove that silver. Glad to see you opted for the Deeeelux lighting kit. Makes things much easier when putting clear on those low areas and the ends.

Great Job. Rest your back and your body for a day or two and admire your progress.

ps, I replied to your pm, but I can't get it to send from my outbox. :cry:
