Rusty,
YES, the black looks great!What did you do to trim the rectangular spots that the grill chrome studs go through, or did that Dynacorn grill not have them? What was your source for the grill?
On a different note, did you ever get that GORGEOUS Shelby done? If so, do you have pics? WE NEED CAR ****!
Thanks,
Gene
Its not reduced or anything? That flat black look is stunning.
What would happen if a guy sprayed a flat or satin clear on that? Would it look good and hold up for awhile?
Well my life just got alot simpler I think.....hum.
I wanted my car black but this is my first restoration, and gloss black with my skills is out of the question, but I might could pull this off. I sprayed SPI black yesterday, got careless and my air pressure was off so it didn`t lay down like it should have, so I`m gonna go 320 wet and scuff it down and put 3 coats slicksand over it, 320 block it, and try to get the look you have on your car, does this sound like a realistic plan?
FYI, I have a pro painter for the last part.
I would dry sand with 180 not 320 before more slick sand.I had already 80 blocked the entire car, and I mixed some epoxy to spray the exposed metal spots where I had sanded into the metal, and I had some extra epoxy mixed and went ahead and shot the roof, cowl, and trunk lid. (it had already been handwashed and prepped) It didn`t lay down very good, lots of dry spots. I`m wet sanding it to knock it down so I can get it smooth enough to recover with slicksand. It has to be skuffed now anyway, I been letting it bake in the sun to try to get it to dry faster so I can sand it back down....
