Paint shop Jail...Looking forward to release date.

[FJ5]

Dropped in unannounced on the painter on June 10th. It has been primed and blocked (looks killer). Still needs 2nd blocking. However it was covered with dust so i know its been awhile since he has touched it. But i remain optimistically hopeful.

a second, then a third, then a wetsand, or two if your going metallic.

In the sanding stages, that dust can pile up quick. Don't judge too harshly.

 

[FJ5]

not just dust but dirt.

I just finished buffing out the brother-in-laws 72 Duster. That car has been the most difficult job I've done to date...

That's a walk in the park.

My old Belvedere was in 3 jails for over 4 years.

Cheaped out and went MAACO on my Duster for some temporary color...2 weeks.

I love the color choice and it looks like you really got it straight before you shot it. Dan

If your using a body shop that does collision work. Projects are always on back burners. My work has been on a trans am for 8 months not even close to being done and it's not a show car just a driver.

There are some flaws. I'm a carpenter that sometimes paints cars....

Dang, is that just for the body work?

 

[trudysduster]

I wont mention what I have in mine.

 

[FJ5]

No. That is replacing complete floor pan, sandblasting under side, sound deadening inside. Repairing the usual rust spots.

 

[FJ5]

Don't ask why they didn't mask off the engine bay. They are going to remove all that undercoat overspray.

I'm by know means trying to bash or nothing, I'm curious that's a lot of money what does that include.

Wasn't there overspray on the firewall from the factory?

That's basically what I charged to do all of the rust repairs, paint & body, all of the interior, all of the wiring, and all mechanical on the last '69 RR I did.
