Can't wait too... Just gotta scrape the dough together for more paint to finish up the tub. Bills come first though, friggin' bills, lol.

Now thats funny.

True too

Yeah, I'm a fan of firearms. If there were a gun section on this board it'd be the greatest thing in the world. Well almost, me getting my Blazer done and enough good paying jobs to go around would be pretty good too.

I had a guy thats done paint and body work for me in the past come up today and take a look. After talkin' with him for awhile I'm feeling tons better about the job I did. So heres the plan. Paint the rest of it. Put it all together. Block out the runs and light orange peel. Take it to a paint booth and lay on 1-3 wet coats and we should be good to go. He's got a 50's Ford show truck he did like that (minus the goofs I did) and it looks like glass. Don't know if I've said this yet but the paint is Single Stage Acrylic Enamel from Napa. MSA 5007C Lemon Yellow now called Corvette Yellow, MSA 575 Hardener, MSA 560 Reducer. Its made by Sherwin Williams.

It took 5 coats to get coverage... Just to be safe when I do get some extra dough I'm buyin' 2 gallons of paint. I'll have to shoot the bedsides 5 coats to catch up with the rest before assembly. Yes it will be bright, lol. Won't even need headlights at night

**Ron 586** · 10-30-2009, 02:09 AM

Big J · 11-12-2009, 08:18 PM

Feelin' better so I snuck into the garage today. Did some wet sanding and prep. Tomorrow I'll be sneakin' back into the garage to toss on some more paint. Shhhh, don't tell the wife.

Big J · 11-13-2009, 04:56 PM

The paint is done for now. After its all assembled I'll block it and take it to a booth for a nice slick finish coat. This time around I got the gun dialed in and it all went great!

fxdxharley · 11-13-2009, 05:04 PM

wow! now that there is yellow. i like it! cant wait to see it all together. keep up the good work.

*k.t.* · 11-13-2009, 05:20 PM

I put in a simaler fuel door in the blazer i'm building. Mine is out of a crysler minivan. It has the cable that unlatches it. nice to see someone has the same idea. Never did like the fuel cap on the 1st gen blazer, looked like an after thout by GM.

P.S. Love the color.

**lks dcvn** · 11-13-2009, 05:55 PM

Looks awesome! More pix!

DURRTY · 11-13-2009, 06:34 PM

WOW! Looks excellent. Great job, like the color choice. Keep it up.

vtblazer · 11-14-2009, 07:40 PM

Yeehaw!!

Nice job bud.

Big J · 11-15-2009, 10:28 AM

Thanks for compliments fellas. Now I need to start going through boxes to find all the stuff that bolts up all over the place. Just hope I remember where it all goes, lol. Of course a fresh coat of gloss black will be tossed on before it goes in. I'll probably start tomorrow.

**Ron 586** · 11-15-2009, 12:23 PM

Congrats. Great job. You knocked it out of the park with that color. Can't wait to see it in person.

Bentblazer · 11-15-2009, 11:22 PM

Hope I'm wearing my sun glasses when you drive by! Looks good

Sacramento70 · 11-15-2009, 11:24 PM
