All parts , and 2nd gens have alot of them, have been sealed and wet sanded to 400 grit. This sealer is said to be self healing, meaning it flows as you sand it. Interesting stuff. Def a time saver. Paint booth has fresh filters for this guy. Last few jobs had been heavy primer so it was time for a change anyway. After a few hours of masking, I is time for paint. This color is more of an outside color as it benefits from the reflection of the sun. Metal Halide and Sodium bulbs don’t do much for it. Gold laid down very flat. Needed 4 coats to obtain sufficient coverage. 3 coats of clear followed. Reflects and shines nice now. Next step will be to assemble the car and wet sand the clear with 1000, 1500 and then buff. May do a 2000 grit sanding if needed. Will let it sit for a few weeks before I begin sanding. I will have the air brush artist come and do the bird and lettering. In the mean time. The art work will then be covered with clear.

Car should look nice with the satin black trim installed and gun metal rims.

My old camera doesn’t care to take good photos anymore. Colors don’t come out too well. These will have to do for now.
