Anything that is flat is a shelf isn't it even the stuff on the shelf that's flat

If I had to do it again I would use liquid epoxy. I was given this stuff. It would do great if you had to build up, like if you wheel was missing big chunks.

Is there a liquid product that you'd choose? My wheel is no worse than yours. Looking good man and that is a COOL Chevelle you've got! What do you have planned for that?

mcbassin · 09-12-2012, 10:34 AM

Your paint looks great John! Very nice progress!

**68 Four on the Floor** · 09-12-2012, 08:28 PM

Steering wheel looks daaamn good. you should consider refurbing them for resale.

jlsanborn · 09-12-2012, 11:33 PM

More stellar work! I just happen to have a few flavors of JB Weld laying around and that makes sense. Thanks for the advice, you make it look easy. That's a bitc*in first car man! What an ideal resto. My build is just starting to roll again and I'm hoping to have a busy (and expensive!) winter. I'll be calling on you and a couple others around here for more tips!

TEN CHEVYS TO YA!

Thanks man! that might be something to think about. repops are @ $300. and most people would rather have original. I have another one thats in worse shape, going to scale it down to 15" diameter this winter.

Same question! I've got a HVLP gravity feed set that I bought from "The Captain" if you know what I mean. It came with a little dude and a standard size fella with two tips. One is 0.4mm I think, for primer??? On the power side I've got two of them stand-ups on wheels that say "5hp", even tho they're 15A single phase, so more like 3/4hp each. With the two tied together tho, I get a pretty good huff. I'm a bit worried about water too. I have a good quality filter/regulator with a sediment bowl, but I've seen some little water traps that dudes hang right on the end of their guns??? By the time I get to painting it'll be pretty cold around here. I'll have to stoke the fire for a few hours at least to get it to temp. That temp will hold for several hours (if I close up and walk away), but then back to chilly! Bad deal you suppose?

Your moving steady dude and all them bits look real nice. Did you do anything different for the plastic defrost vents? What's next on the list?

Couple more Chevys for ya!

Johnny!

Thanks Dude ! yep your 4mm is for primer or high solid paint, I also use it for big bass boat metal flake.your big enemy will be water, and the more your compressor has to run... the more water you will have. The gun I use is HVLP as well, and I like to keep the pressure set high at the compressor and use a regulator at the gun with a moisture trap too. Be EXTRA careful painting in a small closed space with a fire going. I've heard cases where just a pilot light ignited the fumes. when I have to paint and need heat I use a salamander heater so I can shut it down when I get to the temp I need. heres a couple pics for ya.

How did the parts turn out with the clear?

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-14-2012, 12:55 PM

Just finished clear coating, I had to wait for it to warm up a little. 48 deg. this morning. they turned out nice. as soon as I can open up the shop to let the fog out I'll post some pics.

Signs of things to come, should be a nice weekend for painting you know how things can go to crap by October. I have a couple of HF guns but I am only doing touch up so no big deal

Yep, I dont want to think about it. seems like winter was just here. Hoping to get the inside of the doors, and fenders jammed this weekend so I'm looking forward to good weather. You should do alright with HF guns for touch up.

heres some pics !
