Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

Last of the front floor work is done. The ford grabber orange was fairly close, but I thought I could do better, so I went through the body shops color chip books again and found a nissan color that was very close. Had the parts store mix up the tint and it was just a bit darker, so I added some of the grabber orange color to it until I thought I couldn't match it any better. It was really just looking brown because it doesn't have nearly the pearls or flake in it that the paint has, but that is actually a good thing because the pearls and flake don't work as well in coloring the liner mix.

No sprayer this time. I just don't like how it flows. I used a roller method. I had 3/8" mat rollers today, but I think the 1/2 would have been better. My method is to roll on a coat, then go back a few minutes later and coat again and keep doing it until I use up the mix. It worked for me.

Probably won't do much more today. This stuff needs 24 hours to cure and What I need to do next to the hood is grind welds. Don't need that dust settling on my tacky liner. Besides that, I need to move some stuff around so we can finally get our christmas tree up.
