1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

[cubber]

I sanded all my fake patina by hand. It was ROUGH. When you say your prayers, you should thank the Lord for a da sander!

[JRANGER]

o yeah, i would of never made it that way... I needed to get through the POs work to double check it

[JRANGER]

Sanded, Sanded, Sanded, and then preped and painted the hood and trunk jams...

[Rusbuilt]

Thats some paint!!

[JRANGER]

haha, didnt even use 2 full spray cans...Sprayed around 6 and it was dry to the touch within 15 mins...I love this stuff..Now go get that engine

[JRANGER]

****ed up painting my car....Ran out of light, leaned the sprayer too far and dripped all over the door, kinked up the hose and sprayed crap on the cowl...BLAH!!! Lots of orange peal, probably missed spots, and ran out of hardner so only got two coats.....BLAH effin blah... If im lucky ill have a 20fter Blitz Black FAIL!!! lol ok ok....Too be honest I should of not tried to do this is my 9ft wide car port....I didnt have enough room and tripped all over...O well

[Rusbuilt]

Ahh a little wet sanding and some buffing you'll be rockin!!

Just wasnt wide enough but i painted it satin black...Here are better pics with the light kinda out. Dang storms

[Denee007]

Maybe before you unmask it, you could re-tape for some rally stripes over the hood/roof/trunk? Maybe in a flat "other" color. You wouldn't have to go over the bumpers like I did, just keep it simple. Just putting hell in you head! otherwise looking good!

[JRANGER]

I actually plan to do flat red rally strips with plasti dip....Hoping my paint booth hold up through the storms today so i can do some more work in a couple days when shes all dry

[Denee007]

That would look nice! Weather can be a pita!

[JRANGER]

Yeah, its another reason i kinda rushed my paint. Yesterday was the only day it would be near 70 other then today. However today may have tornado etc. Next week its like highs of 50 so my vacation to paint ended up my weekend to paint...lol Damn crazy TN weather

[cubber]

I think it looks decent, man. A wet sanding will clean it up, as will a once over with a polishing compound. Either way, I dig the color!! Makes me miss when my truck was flat black. Maybe I should paint my crew cab blitz black??

[JRANGER]

well wet sanding and buffing wont work, it will turn it gloss.... There are just runs all over and where it was just bondo u can see a slight difference in color. So im going to have to scuff it and put another coat on. I looks much better then it use too and from 10ft it looks awesome lol.... blitz black rocks but so does your truck

[cubber]

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I think you will be able to tell best when it's in the sun. But, you are right, it looks waaay better than it did!

[JRANGER]

Well I pulled her out today and will let her sit in the sun for a day or so before I wet sand and put her back in the booth. She looks great from a distance but the closer you get the more you can see the runs and such. I also removed the plastic floor and will replace that before putting her back in. That way less dust. As of right now I am thinking tomorrow afternoon ill start the wet sanding with 400 grit and then clean her up and put her back in. That way wed afternoon i can put the final coat on her.

[77ChevySharkBite]

Looking good Jeff!!! I have a 20fter paint job so don't worry it happens to us all

it's turning out awesome man!!! keep it up!

[Denee007]

Bad ASSSS! What's next after the wet sanding? We already mentioned, but stripes?

How was the storm in your area? glad

[flashed]

I like it ,those wheels suit it so well too.

[67ChevyRedneck]

She looks EVIL! It's 75 here today. Weird weather!

You'll get it right. Take your time. Runs or not, looks killer in pics!

I repainted the entire nose of my truck back in '06 because of a couple runs. Got it right the last time!

After the wet sand ill put on the final coat. Stripes will be down the road a month or so as it is the season to buy gifts but it should only be a month or so. I just want to give her time to dry completely out so ill let her sit inside the car port a few weeks and so on.

The storm was fine here and my paint both survived lol
