I love love LOVE burgundies and maroons. especially interiors but that boyd ford is awesome too.

I like the color you laid down, if it pink-ens (while you chew, sorry, futurama) I dont even think that would look bad but you could always scotchbrite the chalk off.

Re: Jans 53
 

Very nice. Similar color to what I want to paint my Model A hotrod. How long would it really take for a good paint job to fade to pinkish red? I imagine by that time you'd want to repaint anyway?

That’s just it, doesn’t seem to be any long term info on satin paint’s longevity.

Did some block sanding on the firewall today, hoping to shoot some epoxy to seal it tomorrow or Sunday. Already blocked and sealed the rear of the cab.

Re: Jans 53

Man, I wish I were that far along. Every time I get a step ahead another home project springs up.
Looks really good. What primer are you using? The pic looks glossy. Still wet?

Thanks everyone I’m trying to keep myself motivated by boring all of you with my mini triumphs.

SPI epoxy, this is after about 6 hrs.

Re: Jans 53
 

I used proform because it is readily available locally. It is quite a flat grey.

Re: Jans 53
 

They look like 2 different colors but they're not. One is outside is all.

Re: Jans 53
 

The primer looks good. Someone did a lot of prep.

Re: Jans 53

Jan, there is nothing boring about your triumphs, or any others, big or small! Pretty sure I can speak for anyone on the forum that what gets posted is always interesting, informative,
educational, as well as motivating for all builders. Thanks for your efforts to share your progress.

Re: Jans 53
 

Thanks Canuck you’re right, I like seeing what everyone has accomplished every day no matter how big or small. I love when someone starts painting or has first start up or drive.

Re: Jans 53
 

Nice work! I'm also a fan of SPI. :metal:
I'm hoping to accomplish all three of those in the next couple months...

Re: Jans 53
 

Finished the roof of the cab this weekend. I need to go buy me some polycarbonate to cut up for some finishing sanding blocks. Haven’t started the hood yet but the bed and fenders are also ready to be wet sanded.
Gotta have a picture or it never happened:lol:

Re: Jans 53
 

what I find works pretty well for block sanding to get a straight surface is a piece of smooth plywood cut a bit shorter than the sandpaper size. I wrap the paper over the ends and staple the sand paper on the back side. I use the long board style paper. could also use the regular sized sheets with wet and dry paper just cut into narrower strips and cut the plywood shorter. I also find the rubber blocks work great for wet sanding too.

Looking good Girl...
