Thanks for the props. I done lots or individual tasks on a lot of different cars but this is by far the most involved project I have taken on. A lot of the stuff I am just teaching myself by just doing it.
This week after work I have been getting some little parts painted. Rattle canned I few things but did not com out as nice as I wanted so I am using real paint from a gun.
First sand blasting all the old paint and surface rust. I then been hitting with 120 DA to smooth out the basted parts but still leave some bite for the primer. I robbed a floor shift column out of a 66 Lemans. It was really nasty field car piece. Its looking better than new.
Next was a couple coats of 2K urethan primer followed by 400 paper to be ready for final paint
Here are a couple of finished pieces. I am very happy with my results for never painting anything with a gun before. I've used it to shoot some primer but thats all. This is good practice before I paint the firewall.
