Fine tuning a few details

Hoping to spray sealer on the car next week with some color.

As funny as the Wedding chapel may seem for doing body work, it has worked out amazingly well. The dust in the shop is minimal and the temp inside the tent during the hot days is 10-15 degrees cooler since the sun is not beating on the roof. And we can rent it out on the weekends for parties and festivals for some extra cash. It might be the best 600 bucks I have ever spent on Amazon. That was shipped........... HAHAHA

That is what I should do and throw a wall a/c unit in it. Humidity is killing me right now.

The wheels or the car? The orange has not been applied to the car yet. Soon.

DBasher 06-24-2015 02:01 PM

The painted panel....inner fender apron? I saw the pic of the round thing on a stick outside but this looks to be finished product. I'm just pumped to see this come together!

At least with this thread an update is an update, I used to get excited about a wicked camaro that's supposedly at CorteX....wah, wah, waaah.:goggles:

ironworks 06-24-2015 02:07 PM

Here it is in the sun. This is a round inner fender from an C-10 truck we had out back. We sprayed white PPG sealer under the orange to make it even brighter. It pops quite well.

pop is right! I had to put my sunglasses on to look at the computer screen.

ironworks 06-29-2015 09:13 AM

We started painting parts on Friday. Color is pretty loud but works awesome with the intention of the car.

No. It's a mixed based from toner 433. We added red and sprayed with heavy pearl and top coated with ice pearl from PPG.

waynieZ 06-30-2015 10:22 AM

Wow Nice!

JB64CHEVELLE 06-30-2015 11:10 AM

Looks good! How are you going to keep the pearl looking the same when painting the panels separately?

The pearl in the paint itself or in the intercoat?

JB64CHEVELLE 06-30-2015 07:11 PM

The pearl in the clear intercoat. I know you are measuring and counting coats but I have had mixed results with pearls spraying panels separately. I am just wondering how so I can improve my results.

We mixed all into on and took a what we needed to spray out of the total sum after getting the measurement we defined to get the consistency we wanted.

My painter is confident we will be fine. I hope he is right. He usually is.

:thumbsup: Thanks for the reply, I can't wait to see when it's done! Keep up the hard work.

Different paint colors all over the rotisserie is a badge of honor - why try to protect it. LOL

I see a very nice paint job.... : > )

JB64CHEVELLE 07-09-2015 10:49 AM

Very cool!

Your never going to keep it spotless. So its just easier to get it repowder coated once a year.

It looks really nice. The guys have out done them selves. This was a tricky job.

jy211 07-09-2015 11:12 AM

I've been waiting on this! lol

Looks awesome! :thumbsup:

Congrats !

Roger your guys are doing a great job on this one.

There is a local guy around here that just finished his Orange Tri-Five and it has received a ton on Internet & Magazine publicity. One of the reason could be the fact that orange photographs so well or it could also be because he beats the living crap out of the car.
