Ryan's bug is gettin' close
Well Monday Dave Mace came over to the house and we sqaured up the last of the bodywork on Ryan's car. Then we shot $120 worth of Evercoat Slick-Sand High Build primer (great stuff-highly recomended). After we put 1.5 Gal. of mixed high build on it, I spent the next few days blocking it out and finished up with the blocking today. It's ready to spray. Sun. the engine will come out and Monday it will go the the booth for a few coats of PPG Porsche Gaurds Red. The interior kit (black/black/black) has ordered today. I hope I can get it done before the end of the month for his wedding.

got any pics? :D :cool:
|
How much was the paint? I know it will look good when its all painted. :D
|
No pix yet.
I got the paint for just under $200 shipped from autobodydepot.net ,,,,,thats 1 Gal. and 1 pint of paint, 1 gal. reducer and the hardener. |
Not as expensive as I thought. Maybe I will do my own bodywork. :rolleyes:
|
wow thats cheap for red...Red is usually really costly.
Thats gonna look really good Dave. We NEED Pics! :D |
Thats a really good deal on paint. I just bought some epoxy primer the other day from Dupont, it was going to cost me around $200 just for the primer...I'm glad I could hustle him down to around $110.
There ar some disadvantages to living in a small town in the middle of nowere! cant wait to see the pics, I know the car's gonna look great! John |
The internet is great. Most sites can't advertize prices on PPG stuff. I bought the same pait that was used on the black car for $20 less per gallon and in red. The Slick Sand primer I bought local because I needed it then.
I took some pix but I'm havin' trouble uploading them |
Dave, glad to hear that the car is coming along. Now that is a cool wedding present. Is the spoiler on already or being installed after paint?
|
it's on the decklid now.
|
Well the engine got pulled, we towed it to the booth, wiped it down, masked it off, wiped it down, pushed it in the booth, wiped it down and wiped it down again. It will get tacked and shot tomorrow. Thats alot of wiping. I havn't done that much wiping since my twins were in diapers.
|
Well it's RED. We will color sand and buff it tomorrow.
|
Dave,
It looks gooooood |
Color sanding is done and the heavy cut buff is done. 3 more stages of buffing and she will be ready to bring home.
