I sanded with 320 than epoxy primed white





After lightly wet sanding they were sprayed with SPI Red followed the next day with SPI Universal Clear.

Steve Baur the editor of Modified Mustangs & Fords Magazine asked if I would give 20 tips on how to do a paint job and wanted me to paint the Coupe for a future bodywork issue.

I have the doors and fenders painted





I epoxy primed the body yesterday with SPI white and today we are wet sanding getting ready for paint.

Looking good. That's a nice looking red and I typically don't like red. Congrats on the article.
