Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
Inching ever closer to the big day. Maybe we need to name it, like a holiday, or a National Day or something. How about Faaaalinging the Gold Day, or I Never Thought This Day Would Come Day, or Bout Freakin Time Day or Paint Your Beater Day. I don't know. I'm just running on a few hours sleep and paint/thinner fumes.
Anywho, I found the wiper parts, and remembered to get the tailgate edge strip out, and sprayed color on the bed rails. I might end up re-spraying the top of the rails just so the paint edge line is not so obvious. I'll at least sand it down a bit to blend it. Next I will either install those wiper parts and get the cowl bolted down and shimmed, or save the wiper stuff til later when I know I have all the parts and instead I'll start wiping it down with grease/wax cleaner and taping the all the edges I already painted. Still aiming at this weekend for the big day. It could end either elated or disgusted. I think I can do this though. Pretty sure. Pics...

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
I dig the signs!
Just relax and shoot. Have several beers around and just sip on one as you go, it helps with nerves. You've done this before, it's just bigger. The biggest thing is, don't forget the edges. Get that gun clear under and past the edges. between coats, take a flashlight and get way down under there to where you feel like an idiot and look, you'll be surprised what you miss. Make sure you have enough materials. Definitely clear decks for all day and into the night. The main round on Yeller was 3 base and 3 clear and took about 4-5 hours of mix and shoot time. Don't forget to sand/scuff ALL THE WAY to the edges. If you can, get an experienced guy to help tape and bag it, it's not that hard. You'll do fine. I wish I was there to help, it's fun. Good Luck!

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
The trick is, it's a lot like clearing. Turn your air pressure up a bit (you have a gun mounted regulator, right?), turn your fan as big as it'll go, and stay a bit farther off. Your first round should barely cover and be blotchy. Id go 3-4 rounds, and alternate directions between them. go <> then up-down, esp. on the hood. Id go straight, then 45 deg on the sides. Uniformity is important, mind your overlaps. Most importantly, DON"T STOP. It's like clear, if you pause you get a run or blob or sag, if you do it with this, you get a blotch. Even if you know you messed up, don't stop, you can always fix it on the next round. But mostly relax. Keep telling yourself, it's just paint. Not even expensive paint. It's just paint. Relax and enjoy the process. get out the lights and make sure its good before you clear it. It'll be fine.

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
For blotchy, do as mentioned. But also keep the most constant speed you can.
Agree about the looking under fenders. Missed a spot on my last primer job, DOH!! |

And 1 for me, most songs hook you with a guitar riff, this one hooked me with the drums....

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
Might not be getting sprayed this weekend now. Their dad is going to use the booth this weekend and they said I might be able to get it in next week, during the day if they don't have to use it. Dammit!

Maybe, but feels like a snails pace to me getting the body and paint done. Friend from the body shop came by so I could see if I was taping it up right. I wasn't. Had to pull off about half of what I had done because I was too close to the edges. He said to stay away from the edges or it can peel the paint off with the tape in an area that will require a repaint. I looked at how they taped my truck ( Why the hell didn't I think of that before) and now I know better. Most of that is fixed, just need to correct the driver side door area. He said I should try to cover the underside of the hood too, which is gonna be a bit of a PITA. But overall he said it was ok and gave me tips for the rest of it. Since I'm not painting I think I'm gonna get in some fishing this weekend. The boat is running good now and I don't have many days before the weather gets uncooperative to be out on the water. I went last weekend just to check out the motor and get some worms wet. I caught about 10 fish, all to small to bother cleaning. My youngest likes to fish and we need some fresh stuff to fry up.
