Yep… Im that guy. Do everything by feelReminds me of the old guy I learned what little I know about body work / prep / paint. I'd work on a panel, sanding my fingerprints off. I'd say "It looks ready!" He'd come by, close his eyes, run his hands across the panel, then take out a sharpie and make like 25 different low / hi spots and just say "Not yet."
He will give you a bucket with some water and paper and put you to work too....Yep… Im that guy. Do everything by feel
Wet sanding doesn't bother me. It's the ridiculous little crevices and corners that make me want to throw things. If someone ELSE does it - I might not EVER see those spots that aren't in plain sight - BUT if I do it? I will remember every TINY spot. That's why it takes me forever to do halfway decent paint / body work. When I did my bumper covers on my '04 (it's my daily) I kept repeating "It's 20 years old and a daily driver...." OVER and OVER and OVER while I worked on it.He will give you a bucket with some water and paper and put you to work too....
Thanks. Everything is stripped to metal and gets epoxy dtm primer. I use SPI epoxy and Spi regular build primer as wellGreat job. When you can just concentrate on the process - getting the panels straight, prepped, primed..........it's almost zen.
By the way - I know you like Epoxy - do you use high build after epoxy?
What's your brand for epoxy and other primer?
Yea. No cars sit outside now. Even project cars that arent nice yet are indoors. The worst thing for any car that isnt being driven is just to sit outdoors.It's nice to see your work area so much less cluttered with cars now that you have your storage areas built out!
I've used the SPI epoxy. A buddy is a true convert - for a long time. I remember him having to call a guy, order over the phone etc. You tried their clear coat?Thanks. Everything is stripped to metal and gets epoxy dtm primer. I use SPI epoxy and Spi regular build primer as well
As evercoat superbuild.
Looks a bit different than when you first got it!What it takes to do a show quality paint job. An explosion of pieces. Each one gone over and over and over again. Front and back.
FTFYSo now thesix18 month hibernation.
Heck yea. We got plenty of supplyI hear you can find it here:
“K&K Sandpaper and Primer Wholesale”
What is that curved piece that looks like it goes over the wheel well? Doesn't seem to belong on this group, or is that for the cobra?Think this is the 3rd priming for jambs
