Looking forward to seeing it all done up in the new paint! Looks great!
I love the color too. Amazing how different light really changes it! Nice job on the painting!
Wet sanding first light pass with 1000 , then 1200 and final a 1500 . If I would have rinsed of the plastic curtain prior to spraying I know i would not have these specs in it at all . Well now the paint becomes a 10 point so it will shine on :) .
Ah yes, the dreaded wet sanding time!!! I'm at the same point on the Cutlass now, it's always fun and you certainly don't have to worry about what to do with your spare time!!!! Been over most of the car now with 2500 and did some buffing on parts of the car. Lots of work, but well worth the effort!!!!!
Dave i am no buffer that is scary to me . Been looking at youtube vids and trying to pick up what i can in technique and the materials to use . I am used to the old heavy duty compounds from the 80s .
got some 1200 time in getting closer Dave you are using 2500 wow must feel like it glides over with out cutting .
Steve ( stovens ) you have a good eye i thought it was the lighting that brightened it up but Nason formula is off by a few shades lighter . Yesterday picked up another qt and against the color chip it showed up and I checked it against a old part i had . Should have went with the Du Pont LOL well to late done and going on the block anyway .
Looks great! If only my garage jobs turned out that nice. Even looks better than the last few repaints I've paid for.
Looking great! Man, that wet sanding is a lot of work.
Quick Question Bobby.. are you wet sanding or doing it dry? I end up with a mess all around the car when I did it wet and yours still looks so clean!
As I did the wet sanding I kept cleaning and washing as I went , when the clear powder dries is harder . So rinsing and wiping and drying to keep from a total scrub wash when I am done . :)Quote:

It is looking really nice Bobby. I'm always really nervous to wet sand on a fresh paint job. I have a tendancy to go through on pre paint sanding, so I'm a nervous Nelly. :LOL:
Attachment 62918Attachment 62919Well all wet sanded and buffed over this last year ,, still spending more time at work then home :( . I made a trip to my paint store and did see I didn't tell him code D for 67 and there are a few different shades Of it by paint supplier brand .

Looking good. My dad and I were talking about what we need to get parts wise for my mom's car so we can start on it. He'd like to have it on the road this year. It might be possible. :LOL:
Spent a few days looking for the regulators ,, found them in the shed under some spare rear valence panels and the console . Now to get my wife to give me a hand soon setting the glass and parts back in the doors . Will be awhile going to Arizona to move my sister back here to Illinois .
Had the one small track taped with blue tape and the other with duct .. LOL i looked all over for it ,, didn't see it till i looked at pic the next day . I had it turned over .
