Almost to paint with the 66 coupe

[sacarguy]

the body is done and straight as a arrow

here it is in polyester waiting for block sanding
did this step twice two coatds of polyester then blocked with 180 followed by 320



once that was doneand the waves were gone we put it in 2k primer and blocked twice using 180 then 320


then we painted it with epoxy sealer to seal the paint and wet sanded that with 320 then 500 grit and its done waiting for paint

heres a idea of how straight it is this is just the already sanded epoxy sealer wet no clear etc

love that body style without the drip rails




the nose has been fited and will be primed sealed and wet sanded


should start disasembly and painting the door jams next couple days will be painted by next weekend

I like the lip on the deck lid. To me is finishes the rear and doesn't just fall off.

I'm not a painter. I am just curious as to why you are doing the jambs last?

[sacarguy]

doing the jambs first and then the body i mean we are disasembling it then painting the jambs and then reinstalling the parts and painting as one unit due to the paint job that im doing.
lazer red on the body with a silver strip on the fender edge top line and the top and engine bay in satin black clearn coat gloss black base with a satin clear.

Wow looks straight should look good red.

[sacarguy]

did it all myself in the back of my performance shop with a friend whos a painter.

ill still have 4500 in materials in the whole thing plus the rental of the booth and paying my painter friend 500 bucks to shoot the car

But it is a dam site cheaper then the 15-20 k it would cost to have a job like this done by a big name shop.
