Angry Johnny's 69 Camaro Build

[Rodknock]

After reassembling the car and back masking the stripes it was time to put it in the booth. I bought one of those inflatable spray booths. It works well, if you're not using it on a windy day. Sadly, the day I chose to paint the car was a windy day, and the results were a disaster.

1. I had several stands in the booth with parts on them and I almost had them fall over on me several times.
2. I had my masking station fall over on the front of the drivers fender, taking a chunk of primer out of it, so I had to repair that. (1st pic)
3. I used fast reducer based on the projected temp for the day (mid 60's), forgetting that inside the plastic booth it would be 80 degrees, so when I applied the base coat, it was drying before it even hit the panels.
There was so much debris and dry spray that it completely ruined the paint job and wasted a gallon of paint At least I figured it out before trying to apply clear and waste more money.

Just a little bodywork before painting.



All masked up and ready to shoot.





Sealer applied



Here's where things really went south!
