Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside BILLYBOB

Well, the Nardi wooden steering wheel I restored turned out really nice after six coats of varnish.

Fitted to the car and a happy Nicola = Happy me.




After a major let down with the finish of the rattle cans for the roof, I went out and bought some pre-mixed metalic and used my compressor and gravity fed gun...... MUCH BETTER







I do love the colour, and it should contrast the black as I imagined.


Tonight after work, I used the rattle can clear in the hope it would work..... FAIL !!!

I will go back and see if I can get some clear that will work with the clear already down and the metalic under it, as I really do not want to start all over again.

Fingers crossed I can sort out the Zebra finish the rattle can clear has given me with minimal fuss.

Update to follow.
