Weather didn't look to good for the weekend so I sprayed SPI epoxy ... take a look! Getting the underside of the speaker tray was APITA and some of the roll bar has some dry spots I'll have to recoat, spraying a roll bar is tougher than it looks

..... but overall came out nice!

Just checked the temp in the garage and it's 73 degrees and holding, guess my insulation is working

Thanks for looking ... more tomorrow!

Sweet it's looking great.
Yeah the bars are very hard to get great coverage.
After I sprayed the color and clear I was ready for a long break.
Between the lighting and not accidentally touching the fresh color or clear with body parts, gun parts or the hose.
That got old really quick.

I truly enjoy following your build SC. I say to myself every time that I'm about to see work done the right way, and you never disappoint.
Agree with the roll bar comments. They are tough to get right.
Car is looking great!

Yeah prep took the longest time and then crawling under the roll bar was APITA ... the outcome was worth it thou!

Thanks guys! It's been a long road but she's coming together just like I see in my head. I want to do everything correctly and once!!!

Did some research and read some forums about roll bar paints and seems one of the favorites is Rustoleum appliance epoxy, durable is what I'm looking for ... so I sprayed the roll bar and the speaker tray. Went on really nice, couple spots I'll have to re-coat.

You have to wait a week before you can re-coat, ooops .... tried to touch up a dry spot on the tray and lifted the epoxy. I'll wait and sand it down and re-coat later.

You can see the difference in the sheen between the SPI epoxy and the appliance paint. Take a look ....

Since everything was dry I took my flexible sanding blocks and sanded the trunk and floor to get the overspray off ... that epoxy outa the spray can made a mess!!

Thanks for looking ...

love this thread.

So, you just saved me some research.. appliance paint? where does one source such a paint? I am

I am going to be painting mine soon.... Did you Epoxy prime to etch into the metal?

A note one thig I was thinking.. was the belt bar, wrapping that after painting it... this way the belts banging off them won't scratch the crap out of them..
