Painting and Clearing

I was able to get back in the garage for a few hours last night to paint and then again today to clear, everything but the body itself. As you can see from the top picture there's a pretty heavy mist in the garage spraying the clear coat. By the end I couldn't even breath out of my respirator anymore. With three coats of clear on it should be pretty good to give me something to work with for wet sanding. I had the gun set a little off so I do need to fix a couple runs in the clear, but I can live with that. All that's left is the body and it will be a couple of weeks now before I can finish that with all the other stuff going on around here now.

Painting has started

Well my paint and clear came in so I thought I would start with a few of the little things and see how it looks. It sprays pretty good on the parts I did shoot and all parts in the pictures were painted and not clear coated yet. In the sun they look really good. I did get all these items cleared but ended up re shooting the tank again because I was shooting late at night and when I opened the door a little I ended up with a few tiny flys in it, not a happy camper!

All primed

Well I got the car all primed tonight. For the most part it looks pretty good. I see a few spots around the door that need to be touched up but other then that it will be a weekend of wet sanding.

Primer started

Yesterday I was able to start spraying my 2K primer. All the little parts plus the back side of the hood, deck lid and the back part of the door where the hinge attaches. I put the doors back on and I'll spray the rest of the car today if the weather warms up a bit and it stops raining. I ordered my paint and it should be here mid week so I'll make sure I'm ready for paint and clear next weekend.
