Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Does that ever look straight. How thick do you think the filler is when it is done?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
If it's been blasted, etch (really nice panels) or epoxy straight to metal after a wipedown. I mechanically strip with 80 on a da pad in a drill and a wire brush, then 80/150 on a DA to level out. Then filler after epoxying, scrub the work area with 80 for filler tooth. I knock filler down with 80 on a block. If I think it's good, I lightly scrub with 150 to knock the 80 tooth down then SS it. I lay a good spot coat over the bodywork area areas, then a medium coat over the whole thing. Then when it dries, 80 real quick over your worked areas, re-guide if good and 150 the whole panel. Then 1 medium coat with ss, and finish out on that coat. Yellow truck in my sig was done this way.
Sorry to butt in again, Kab.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Its hard for me to follow the bodywork thing. Filler primer, epoxy primer, 2k primer, primer sealer. All I would know to do is sand the body, shoot some primer on and and paint.
Way too advance for me. |

Bare Metal - Protect with epoxy primer. You can do your filler work first and epoxy or you can epoxy first and do your filler work on top of the epoxy primer. When sanding you may get some exposed metal if you are doing filler over epoxy. Just hit those bare metal spots with more epoxy. After Epoxy and filler work - This is when you spray your 2k primer, High fill primer, or in my case Slicksand. This is the primer that you use for build so that you can blocksand and get the panel straight and ready for color. This is much harder than it sounds if you are shooting for perfection.lol After 2k primer, high fill, or slicksand - You continue to block this primer out to 400 to 600 grit depending on the color choice or if you are using a sealer. A sealer in my case epoxy primer that is reduced to put uniformed canvas for paint. The lighter or more translucence the color may make you want to block to 600, also a light metallic you may want to block to 600. If you are using a sealer over 400 grit you may be good to go with color. Now you are ready for color. Last edited by Kabwe; 04-22-2014 at 03:07 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Not for beginners, but in a production environment, especially if you're spraying sealer, 320 on a DA is a fine finish for most paints. This has to be approached with skill and caution, (cause you can do all kinds of damage to your bodywork) but lots of shops do it. 320 DA the primer out into existing paint, red scotchbrite the rest of the panel, sealer/base over the primer, clear the whole panel.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Well I finally got some color on the truck, well the interior. I could not wait to see what the color would look like so I just thought I'd shoot the interior just to see if I really liked it.
This is my backyard paint booth.lol Here you go Last edited by Kabwe; 04-27-2014 at 08:22 PM. |

I recently picked up an upholstery sewing machine and am trying to learn some basics from a couple friends that own upholstery shops. I figured what the heck because I have the truck and the suburban to do, so I may as well at least learn the basics of doing a seat.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks guys I appreciate all your comments on the color. I was a little nervous about the green. I'm usually way more conservative when it comes to colors but I thought the truck needed a color that popped a bit more than something I would normally chose. Once I shot the interior I became way more confident in the color choice and actually love it now.
