Drew,
The paint looks great. That Nason is good stuff. I have been using if for years. The best value for the money for sure. It will run right of the panel if your not careful though

Keep up this pace and you'll be driving this truck soon.

drewskiren · 09-18-2011, 01:13 AM

The new missionaries are going to be a no show, so the show goes on!

I remembered to drill out my lower trim holes.

Taped it up after sanding and a little bondo work on the insides of the top rails.

Shot primer until I ran out. Dang. I can already see a few questionable spots that will need a little love and some more primer. I guess I will wet sand it well on Sunday after church and get some more primer on Monday.

congrats !!

**oldman3** · 09-18-2011, 09:43 AM

moving right along....Jim

thirdstreettito · 09-18-2011, 09:28 PM

Nice progress!

68greg · 09-19-2011, 01:06 PM

Drew, wow don't get on here for a couple of weeks and you redo a jeep and paint the cab of your truck and almost get the bed ready. And that cab......boy oh boy, looks like glass. Great job can't wait to see it when it's wet sanded and buffed. So when does the Drew's paint and body school open.

drewskiren · 09-20-2011, 01:38 AM

I shot the last coat of primer at 5 this afternoon, then wet-sanded with 600 grit, prepped and ready to shoot. Don't forget to run a TACK CLOTH over everything right before you shoot.

Another trick if you see a speck of dirt or fuzzy while you are spraying is to half pull the trigger and only shoot air out to try and blow the speck off the panel. This only works of course if you haven't already stuck him with paint.

We'll start school with the 3 Ps. Prep-work, Patience, and Practice.

Oh heck, who am I kidding. I finished this too tonight.

Wax on, wax off! Just like the Karate Kid! Come down to Drew's Paint and Body school and he'll put you to work.

My shop teacher in high school used to do that. He would build hydraulic log splitters and the metal shop students would do the welding of the frames, the small engine shop students wouild rebuild the motors, and he would make the money! Smart guy!

VA72C10 · 09-20-2011, 02:10 AM

Looks great! Getting really excited to see this beast together!!!

mcbassin · 09-20-2011, 11:19 AM

It's a real fine line between perfect wet coat and running on the floor. Sorry to see this happen to ya. Hope you have better luck on the second try.

Ever tried to walk the edge of a razor blade????? Its about like that.

wicky · 09-20-2011, 01:27 PM

I dnt know if this is ur first paint job or not but don't be scared of wet sanding and buffing. Especially a run cuz you've got to keep in mind that there's already to much paint there anyway. If you put three coats of clear on it you can do alot of sanding and buff before you burn through. Just my. 02 though.

**oldman3** · 09-20-2011, 04:03 PM

Drew, have you ever used a painter nib file, their about 1-1/2" square and look like a file. Go over the run and it cut them down little by little, most paint supplies have them. I've also used a single edge razor blade, hold with both hands and drag over the run, it will also cut it down. Then wet sand and buff....Jim

I have a nib file and a plastic device that holds a razor blade for you like you were saying. Can't find them right now though.

71Sleeper · 09-21-2011, 02:16 AM

I think Drew has got this guys....The proof is in the pudding, as one might say. Drew you are making great progress and I could only hope to be as detailed on my build as you are with Young Frankenstein. Can't wait to see this beast together. I log on everyday just to see the progress. Keep up the hard work.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-21-2011, 04:05 PM

Hey, at least it was only on the upper areas! I hate it when you are spraying a long and then come back and see it ran! I tend to spray heavy and have to learn to walk away.

You'll get it Drew!

quandelgarage · 09-21-2011, 07:51 PM

looks sweet keep it up

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-21-2011, 07:59 PM
