Thanks to everyone for all the advise. VERY expensive starting from nothing and trying to do a little here. Never dreamed it would cost so much for materials to paint a floor pan and engine bay. I do already have a good Air compressor (6hp, 30 Gal) that is like new.
The floorpan has a good bit more rust than I was expecting. Nothing too bad just surface rust and some pitting in the drivers side. I have a buddy with a media blaster that we will use to clean it all up. Decided to go with Por15 on the floorpans after that just to be safe because of the rust and it will be covered anyway.
Shopping list for Floor pan:
Gallon Marine Clean
Gallon Prep and ready
6 Pack of SG Black Por15
Qt Por15 Solvent
Brushes, Gloves, ect..
Total $160
Next up is the engine Bay. The plan is to completely remove the front clip, mask off the car, Sand the fenderwells and firewall down to bare metal, Epoxy prime and then spray Black Satin finish for the engine bay.
Shopping list for Engine Bay:
2K Ceramic Black Satin & Epoxy Primer Kit from Eastwood- $100
Masking Tape and Paper - $40
Abrasives - $50
Mixing cups, Paddles, Strainers, tack rags - $50
Total - $240
General Shop:
Two HVLP Guns (1.4 & 1.8 ) - $90
Respirator - $30
Extra Hoses, Fittings, ect.. $50
In line Desiccant air dryers - $30
Total $200
Project cost $600.00 and i will still need to cover the media for the blaster we will be using on the floor pan.Those old rattle cans and Rustolem are starting to look a lot more attractive. Oh well, Everything is ordered now and the work goes down this weekend. Now I just need to go sell some blood or plasma or something to pay for all this.:wink:
I will start a Resto thread next week with the progress.
