I suppose I'm due for an update! The Covid thing has given me a bit more time to work on the car, so I've made some great progress!
After the last post, I went into full body work mode.
My OEM trunk was too rusty to save, so I got a new one. They guy who had it before really piled on the featherfill sprayable body filler, so I used a heat gun and a razor to knock it down. Then, an 80 DA to profile the surface.
I then put a layer of Southern Polyurethane Epoxy over everything. I did the fenders a while back in White epoxy.
A couple weeks of body work ensued. I blocked the black epoxy, and took care of all kinds of little dings and waves at this point.
After the body work, I did 2 coats of White epoxy,
Followed by 3 coats of Southern Polyurethane's regular build 2K primer.
I got the whole car blocked out flat to 400 grit without getting through the White epoxy! Minimizing film build is good, so I'm happy with that.
After blocking, I replaced all the plastic sheeting, and got ready for base and clear!
I put down a coat of White epoxy, reduced 50%, then 3 coats of Southern Polyurethane Orange base. Seemed like everything was covered in 2 coats though. I used SPI's Universal clear.
I made sure to make the door window frames black, I've seen novas where they left them orange with a 2 tone look, and it comes out kind of odd looking.
Suspension, Wheels and tires:
First time it's been out of the shop in 9 Years, 2 months!
