Hey Alan what did you prime your motor and trans with? And did you just spray the hugger on the block or is it a high temp paint.

Re: My 1965 build thread
great job..I haven't had good luck with painting vertical panels flat... the flake/metallic just docent seam to lay right when I install the panel.

Probably from the inside out.....I would imagine. That's the way I did it on my buddies '67 Impala anyway |
Re: My 1965 build thread
How would you get it to line up that way? Couldn't you just tape it before drilling?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
You Rock:metal:If most people only knew how much work it takes to get them to look that good. Very nice. I'm going to go work on my doors now thank you.:exit:Trim what trim?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
his cab still has the trim holes... but the doors a clean.. Its to late for me. I was goin to keep it but I have already welded it all up and dont have the heart to drill it all back out... not that I could tell were to drill at now.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Update on the Orange Miata I painted at the first of the year. He has it all back together for the most part.
http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC09652.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC09656.jpg Had to repair a little uh oh. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC09657.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC09664.jpg Door and cab with a little natural light (cloudy)on it. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09692.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09693.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread

Laid out the fine line tape for the top color. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09696.jpg Got it bagged and ready for paint. I wanted to paint it tonight, but I'm afraid the air compressor would disturb the neighbors. So hopefully I can get it painted in the a.m.. The best time to paint if you don't have a booth is in the a.m.. The wind is calm and the bugs are gone. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09699.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I'm so excited for ya Alan!!
I may have missed it....are you painting the same gray/silver in the small area between the trim? |

I forgot to mention that Greg65 came by today. It's the first time we met. He picked up a part and we spent a good hour chewing the fat. It's always cool meeting other members. Thanks Greg!! |
Re: My 1965 build thread
It was great to get away for a while. Nice drive uo to Alan's place and beautiful country. Looks like you got busy after I left.

Things don't always go easy for me. Sometimes you spray and not have any problems. Well today was not one of those days. First mist coat of grey http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09700.jpg Then a fish eye popped up. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09703.jpg Fish eye is gone. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09706.jpg Removing fine line http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09708.jpg Ready for clear http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09710.jpg Then the big issues. I ran the heck out of it. It was hard to get a good coat in this area. I finished spraying and ran it pretty much all the way across. The only thing I could do was run it in the floor. So I hammered some on until I flowed the run on the paper. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09713.jpg I was afraid to run this one any further cause I would have too chase it all the way down. I believe I can sand this one out. It's the same way on both sides. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09722.jpg Overall it turned out pretty slick http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09714.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09723.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09718.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
that paint looks so slick Alan, I wish a had half your skills
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
very nice!!
runs suck huh? Scott was telling me about "running" out the clear, and I was like :uhmk: just my lack of knowledge :lol: |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Ouch man that sucks, at least its fixable.. most of the time that is the best thing to do is make it run even more and add a ton of material and color sand it right out. I cant wait to see it all put together :metal:
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
Can you sand out a metallic paint?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
correct me if I'm wrong...but the run is in the clear, so no sanding in the metallic paint..
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
Yeah Joe your right it is in the clear so you can just take like 1500 grit and water and sand over the run to blend it in. Just take your time and dont go through the clear to the paint... that sucks :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Scott, do you ever wipe a thin coat of putty (I use evercoat 416) over the run then sand the run out? It helps me from going thru the adjacent clear around the run. It works well. It also serves as a guide of how much further you have too sand. It doesn't harm the clear, or hasn't with me yet. I've tried it a few times after our painter showed me the trick. When I do it I will take pics of the process. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Looks great Alan
