    Gold colored cars please

    Trying to post photos, but file is still to large. I re-sanded my parts that I had painted black, now they are Y8 gold. Doors, deck lid and hood. As I said before, being a body tech/painter can be a real PITA sometimes! I plan on laying a semi-gloss black tail stripe as well hood treatment...

    Johnny, question for ya'. Is your gas cap body color or chrome? I have both but I'm going to install painted cap on mine. I have the chance to paint my car finally tomorrow, but I won't. Rainy here, to many metal spots showing to move 30 miles on highway for the trip and re-prep again before...

    paint?????????

    Born and raised here, lived down there for 8 years. But we can't wait to move back also. The Iwata gun, is that the new one w/the Orange cap? I demoed that gun, didn't feel compfortable for my type of spraying. I also lay my base coats down med more than wet. Last coat I put down more wet then...

    paint?????????

    I never said two coats of base will cover anything. I typed fast due to your repsonse, my bad. But 7 coats, holy crap again! Are YOU using the correct color choice or recommended sealer before base coat? Also, it's not to often a base coat needs to be sanded down completely, just nib where...

    paint?????????

    Have ever painted before? 7 coats of base? Holy crap! base can be sanded down, removing any imperfections in the sealer or base such as orange peal or dust nibs etc... base can go on med to wet all three times w/o any issues. 50% over-lap every time, whether your spraying single stage, base...

    paint?????????

    You can dry sand or wet sand the primer before painting the car using 320 or 400 grit. First you must seal it before base coat,lay your base down, 3 coats average then clear, 2 or 3 depending on brand of material you have. Do not sand anymore after you've applied sealer. Get a text sheet since...

    The Dart has paint !!!

    WOW! My car is jambed in already in Sassy Grass. Being a painter, I have changed my mind three times so far and not yet painted my OWN car yet since last year. I am for sure now staying w/the J6 color w/no vinyll top. Thanks for the photos and very cool. :thumbup: I tried to post photos, but...

    Wheel molding repo?

    Thanks for the info. I guess I should have bought them from Laysons before they got jailed. Even though my past business exp. w/them was terrible. Mark

    Gold colored cars please

    Yeah, black. I dis-like black cars. After painting two this week alone, they look nice when they leave the parking lot, but the upkeep is so damn, well I'll just say I'm sure I'll regret it someday....haha I plan to lay ghost flames down after I get the car running, again before winter hits here.

    Gold colored cars please

    Update: Well like I said before, being a body man/painter, its hard to decide on a color sometimes. Yes, I had the gold color but sold it before I even used it. I jambed the doors, deck lid, hood and misc. items in black tonight. Thinking of a white, red or sassy grass tail colored stripe...

    questions about right after paint is laid

    Yes, mask off the entire car. Over spray is not what you want on a freshly painted car or ever for that matter. Mark

    questions about right after paint is laid

    If the car is going to be painted in a paint booth w/heat, you can mask it off the next day just to be safe vs. that same day if need be also. Laying clear plastic down the next day won't hurt even if car is not baked at 140 degree's for 2 hours or less. Just don't apply pressure to plastic to...

    Gold colored cars please

    I ordered my paint today, Y8. My car is jambed in now in J6, but me being a painter, well it's hard deciding on a color for my own sometimes. I was hooked on Sassy Grass, but having owned a gold car before and can't own it now, I am building a clone to what I once had. I'll try to post photos...

    Gold colored cars please

    Thanks for all the photos guys. I found out that the paint code is GY8. My car is org. F8 green. I jambed it in J6 sassy grass, changed my mind last week for other reasons to gold like I had once before for short while. Guess you can say I miss that car the most enough to build as clone of it...

    Gold colored cars please

    That looks like the color of my last Dart. It was a '71 for sure, I have photos of it but the file is to large to show. That might be my choice after all. I sold the car over 15 years ago, so my memory of the paint code might be off, Y4 or Y8 like yours. Thanks for the photo. Mark

    Gold colored cars please

    I'm looking for mopars painted factory gold and other. I have paint code formulas but also looking for factory colored mopars. My goal, painting my car GY4 possibly but lost info. I had from before. Color I had before may have been Y 4 also, not 100% sure. It was a 1971 color. Thanks Mark

    Pearl paint?

    I ran a price on paint, hardner and reducer today at work. Total came to $728.12. Thats also my cost of materials. PPG and Dupont are about the same FYI. Looks nice when done, complete, door jambs, under side of deck lid, hood and misc. pieces/touch up. I have some photos of cars I've...

    Pearl paint?

    Sorry, I meant $800.00 for both paints, $400.00 for each gallon. I can run a check on price as well tomorrow, but I would rather spend more $$ on the cars performance than pearl paint. Thats just me though. ha-ha... Lexus has a nice pearl as well. Lambo' too....... Mark

    Pearl paint?

    Keep in mind that a pearl you most likely will chose if you decide on it will be a tri-coat and cost $$. Being a painter, I would advise you check w/your local paint store and look through the chip books. They all have different a price range, a gallon can start at $800.00 alone or more plus...

    Progress pics ! 70 Dart

    After owning about 40 mopars so far, I've never owned a Sassy Grass car. But I really wanted a Gold car again, GY4? After 8 months of misc. repairs to my car. Now would be the best time to change before actually laying the color down I don't want anymore. I like it, but..... Yellow is...

    Progress pics ! 70 Dart

    Thanks. I was thinking sence he said Green-Go it may have been the AMX color. My car is cut in right now in Sassy Grass, almost ready for complete paint, thinking of going a different color now though. Being a body man/painter, my options are wide.......open. Keep us posted of the paint job...

    Progress pics ! 70 Dart

    Green-Go. Which color is that exactly, Sassy Grass or Sublime?
  30. A

    Sublime time

    That is sweet. I dig the detail. Molded in the ext. on quarters, no side markers. I'm getting ready to paint mine Sassy grass green soon, thinking of something along the same lines as flames oddly enough as seeing yours now really gives me more of what to look for. I'm a painter myself, so...
