Is the body getting a repaint? It looks sweet...

198plus · 02-15-2012, 10:38 PM

Thought I would post a few pics of today's progress on my 57 Chevy........

Time for some paint.

Sealer done.

In these pics we shot the car with 2 coats of single stage paint just to make sure it was arrow straight and to look for any imperfections we may have missed. Tomorrow we'll wet block the car again, and then lay the paint to it.

Here's one of the chassis......

Man it better be straight. Love that combination. Red is my favorite interior color. My truck will be Red/ black two tone, with red interior.

flips72 · 02-16-2012, 07:21 PM

shoot, the single stage paint looks great from my house, color sand, buff and drive the wheels off it, very nice, i always loved the tri fives.

198plus · 02-16-2012, 09:11 PM

Finished the paint today, I wanted to say thanks to my painter Jerry for doing a outstanding job :hail:..... Can't wait to wet sand and buff it, Should be SLICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Alan's Classic · 02-16-2012, 09:24 PM

Very nice!! Wet sand and buff, are you crazy? (Don't answer that)

I'd Drive it.

Strodder · 02-16-2012, 11:18 PM

Took the words right out of my mouth Alan. Leave it alone. I was told that once you break the fresh seal from new paint it won't be as durable. Is that true?

I just read your build all the way through, it really is a soap opra. I to live in Loganville GA, and have been to you shop about when you did the first test paint on the front fender. I was driving my old 66 step side and buying materials for my 64 project, you came up to the paint store and told me to come take a look at your labor of love. You told me about this web site but I only recently signed up, great information here. I am coming back into town next weekend and I will stop by and see ya. Here is my old 66 sold it to consetrate on my 64.

Then I grew up and discovered Pontiacs!!
My wifes '72 LeMans Sport is being professionally restored this year back home, and my '66 Tempest Custom is sitting pretty in a storage unit. Both are convertibles too.

198plus · 02-17-2012, 08:32 PM

We got it back on the frame this evening, time to get busy.

Side shot......

Extra work and a few dollars extra materials but a GREAT idea. You can tell pretty well from the primer how the job will come out but never see as much as when the clear goes on (or single stage). As seen by the results below this is a step that helps you take it from a "nice" paint job to a

paint job! Show quality black paint there!!!

Thanks, it is alot of extra work and material but it is well worth it.......It's a sickness

LostMy65 · 02-22-2012, 03:01 AM

I had to scroll back a few posts to see what color this was..
It looks like a glass mirror.
Amazing!
