Believe it or not I'm only using 100 grit, it's taking longer to get through the paint but it's coming over baby bottom smooth!

yeah, do 40 to knock it down fast, or at least 80, then prime. then sand with 100 and another coat of primer. then start block sanding it, won't take too long, just tedious work.

what kind of paint product brand are you using?

you're getting there keep up the good work

Thanks man!! I'm going to have to get some during the week! And yeah I hear you there man, seems what should be fast takes hours! I remember when I did my fenders I think it took me 8-10 hours to do both of them.

I'm using rustoleum self etching primer in a spray can.

Thanks man I appreciate the kind words God knows its hard

Thanks man!! Yeah I knew it was hot but just now I checked the weather it says it's 106!! So you can imagine what it feels like being in a garage more like 110, I'm just glad to be done for the day I'm not sure how much longer I could of taken.

Yeah that's the downfall to our lovely Texas weather when it's hot, it's a vicious hot! I don't blame ya for not having cut your grass it really is too hot.

It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it, biggest advice I can give uou is that once your at the bare metal don't keep sanding it, and make sure to go in 1 motion so it will be smooth

Hey, glad to see you got some work done on it. What are your plans after it is all in primer? Are you going to turn around and paint it or just leave it in primer for awhile. Good progress. Keep it up!

[77ChevySharkBite]

Well I hope everyone had a great and wonderful 4th of July, I know mine was probably the best on yet, got to spend it with family and friends.

Nothing done this weekend, it was a non-stop weekend and actually got to spend some time with my parents which is very rare as much as I am on the go. Hopefully work will be kind of slow and things slow down for the week and I'll try to get some work squeezed in when I can.

Hey Sharkebite, how's the body work coming?

It's quite funny you ask that, I actually was at my gfs and she had an exhausting day at work, so.......I'm going to eat some food really fast and I'm going to see what I can get done before 11pm-midnight hopefully I can finish the big part and just leave the small middle pieces to do this weekend.
