Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I have three sons and I taught them to respect women by showing them an example in the way I treat their mom, so don't be to hard on the boys, give 'em a chance.
![]() Great job, sorry about the sand thru.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Just so that no one thinks I've been lolly-gagging, picture proof of the hood now repainted. Only problem was, I ran the front edge like crazy. Also the primer spot tried to alligator a little on me. So here I am again today, prepping the hood to paint it the 4th time.

If I had seen a hatchet nearby it would not have been pretty last night.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Man Drew, You have some of the same painting luck I have had in the past. One in particular reminds me of your hood...well kinda. I was fixing up a car for my wife it was lightly hit in the front when I bought it. 2004 Grand prix, it was an easy fix, and I got it real cheap. My ole friend has a dealers license he hooks me up when I need a cheap driver. Anyway, I went to my local paint store I have real good luck with in the past. With my paint code in hand. He mixed me up a quart of the good stuff ppg bc/cc. It wasn't cheap either. I painted the hood and fender waited then cleared it with the high $$ clear. It turned out GREAT! no runs or dryspots, it looked factory in my "booth".The next day I start mounting the fender and it didn't match, not even close! Dang it. Over $200 down the drain for paint and supplies. Well, that didn't bother me as much as sanding and respraying it all again. The guy at the paint store didn't charge me for the next quart but that sure didn't cover my labor. I did take the old fender to get a perfect match the second time. The second paint job had a run on the fender and orangepeel on the hood go figure. And it turns out now the paint is too thick so little rock chips on the hood make for an ugly mess. Sorry for the long story but my point is, I'm kinda worried about your paint being too thick now. Mine had 4 coats too and it is noticeably too thick. Oh yeah, I guess you have a revolving charge at the paint store by now. Good luck.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I'm worried my gas mileage may suffer from so much paint!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
On the bright side with all of the extra layers of paint it will be much more difficult to sand through this time around..ha ha ha
Nice work Drew. Marc

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Just a quick trick on how to paint a very large hood. Slam it to the ground via no wheels.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
wheels need to be tucked up in the wheel wells a little higher
![]() So...does this mean the last try was good and you'll be ready to sand and buff in a few days once it cures?
