Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
Here is a couple, BUT the HB gun is not exactly what I would suggest using for a decent finish, but it can lay clear down OK in the right conditions. In my defense I have a few cars I have painted under my belt, used quality material (chromabase Dupont) and got it to flow OK. In retrospect a nicer Devilbiss or a similar gun would be a worthwhile investment, and the final finish would have come out nicer.
I am in the middle of a complete on my son's 61 Continental and the HB gun is staying in the cabinet for this one. Primers maybe, topcoats no, the Devilbiss 'plus' is going to be my choice for the job but that is a $300 gun new its not cheap by any means. Thank you for the props on the truck, lots of sweat went into it

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
Looks great. Normally if you spray a candy over black, you don't see the candy. Sure that's not a black metallic or a charcoal metallic?

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
Yup 100% because the base is off a 98 mustang black as black can be. The actual uk11 (urethane kandy) has to be over a metallic or pearl base because there is no metallics or pearls in the midcoat on a tri coat paintjob. This hok paint uses a shimmering basecoat and adds stuff to it to make it close and its very close!!! I unwrapped it and started painting some of the accesories to match the motor but here it is unwrapped!

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
My son and I have been working on her for 3 years. It's finally close to complete. PPG DBC 2000 Synergy Green. Sprayed with an Iwata 400. My son did all the body and paint work.

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
This is my 99 s10. It was sprayed with all Dupont products. It started with 2590s epoxy primer then 4 coats of 7707s surfacer. After being blocked with 320 dry then 500 wet, it was shot with 1 coat of 7770s sealer, 3 coats of a custom mixed chromapremier basecoat, and cleared with 2 coats of 74700s chromapremier pro clear. The following day everything was wet sanded with 800 then 1000 and sprayed with 2 more coats of clear. I should have washed it before I took the pics

Re: Let's see pics of paintjobs done yourself...
Did all the metalwork, bodywork and cut-ins at the house shot in the booth at the shop my brother manages, cut and buff and assembled at home. Did it all right down to the color matched bedliner!
