Been awhile. Still busy with a large house renovation. Finally getting to laying some paint on the car. I decided to just do the flat hot rod black. It’s the same color that’s inside the car. I am not a paint pro.
A few things I’ve learned. I had to let everything dry completely before sanding, sometimes 24hrs. I’ve just had bad experience sanding primer, putty or filler too quickly. Important to also scotchbrite with a fine pad the whole area to be paint before.
I started with the rear clam first. Allan had already primed for me. My first time came out decent but I think I’m going to respray the base again to get a smoother finish. You can see in the pictures the finish is a little sketchy. I think the paint was coming out too dry. A combination of the wrong settings and holding the gun too far away.
Next up is the front clam as soon as I mold in the fender vents. Then I’ll move to center and doors.
