Well since Mikey is to busy to click pics....for waht it's worth. After sanding I went back and hit highlighted low spots and filled. Waiting for the stuff to dry. First sanding was with mostly 80 grit. This one I'll start w/80 then go to 100.
Then to a primer.
Any comments welcomed.
OH yea my pm's are still not working.

oh damn i sent all the pics in a pm , ahh well man you getting it done , should be a real nice transom when you finished

I'd do a final sanding with 150 grit. You'll get better results in the long run!!!

It does sand well, uscomp fiaring mix.
That rat look is a gimmick to not finish the car. . And still pay too much Rem.
I'll run some 150 also then.,
Yea Mick I shoulda mentioned the pm's earlier. Try my em.
trying to keep up with the good weather.

I agree totally - I really do despise that look. On some car shows I see them do all that body work and all to fix it up -- then make it look like crap.

When I saw that stuff on tv I said to myself what a bunch of crap. I forget the...oh yea "Cheap Monkey" and the other co-horts. So whatever....let the rust go on. Such a nice Patina.
So sweating off my Patina... Went and picked up primer and some 150 grit. I ran the 80 on the gigh builds, swept with 100 then swang back with 150 grit. Like the smootheness. Wiped with acetone after I blew and vacked.
Have Jr. shaking up the rustoleum metal primer for ten minutes out on the back deck. Don't need a nightmare from the boss if something spills here. Going out to paint says I!

[kcassells]

I'll post some pics after Mick does. Need to clean it up ya see. Dogs are doing good. :joyous:

Careful with the heat when painting. It can Really mess things up!!!

 

[oldrem]

And stay hydrated - I didn't Sunday and it took me over a day to get my fluids back up.

 

[kcassells]

Paint mixer, help, 1st coat,2nd coat. Lots of heat!



More coats tomorrow.

You are spot on Rem with this heat. Got sticky with the rolling. Will do as soon as I get home in the a.m. tom.

Looking good

 

[mickyryan]

looks nice so far man! and my pics are coming i swear

 

[sphelps]

Looks good Kc !
Good to see your paint mixer taking a break .. mixing paint is strenuous work !
The only problem with hydrating is you sweat more . Multiple sweat wipe breaks for me while painting the WM .

 

[kcassells]

Rolled on 2 coats this morning to beat the sun. Next I ran some 150 wet and dry to move out highs from yesterday. So thats 4 coats. Gonna do 2 more tom cause I can. Just want it smooth. Had some orange peel and roller edge build up. from yesterday.

 

[oldrem]

Definitely going to be perrrrrrrrfect!

 

[kcassells]

Gots to say I just came home from my sons appt. The dang paint shines like glass. What the hoot? Man that feels good!
Thanks Woodonglass Mike!
