Getting close to paint

Well getting close to primer and then base/clear. Ordered the epoxy and 2k primer from a company called SPI. Read a lot of good things, also on it way is by HVLP Deblviss Finishline 3.

Man the garage is a mess.



Hood is done and ready.



Can't remember the last time the fenders were on, got them lined up and ready for paint.



Somebody cobbled up the dash trying to get the ignition out, a little bondo will fix that.



A buddy lent me this industrial fan, explosion proof, made a simple filter box to catch the overspray.



Dash stripped and ready for a new coat of white once the epoxy is on.



Steering column almost ready for paint.



Went over the body one more time with 80grit ready for primer.



Put 8 8t fluorscent lights in the ceiling, and got these all set for the sides of the car so I can see where I am painting.



Bunch of exterior parts sandblased and ready for paint.



Got the emblems on order, once they come in can drill the holes and then the fenders will be ready for primer.

























Working on getting the bottom of the trunk area cleaned up before I hit it with the epoxy and single stage paint.



Getting the decklid all cleaned up. Had to use paint stripper and a lot of 80grit DA discs and do you like my makeshift outdoor sand blast area, did the hood as well.




As you can see my original doors were junk, got a set of doors for 50 bucks, only had to do one patch, but had to skin both doors as you can see they had some damage over the years. Skinning the doors was way easier than trying to bump and bondo the originals.
