1970 Swinger 340 Hemi Orange 4 speed
I got my K frame painted. I used Tremclad Semi gloss black and mixed it 4:1:1 with acrylic enamel hardener and reducer. I already sprayed a test piece prior to painting the K frame and it turned out great with a low gloss hard as a rock finish. I read mixed reviews online on catalized Tremclad with most of them being good, so I figured I'd try it.. It works great!! It must be the old style Tremclad, not the new water based junk. I like how tough Tremclad is, but it always seams to stay really soft and isn't resistant to chemical spills so catilizing it fixes this problem and its a really cheap alternative to semi gloss chassis paint.
Here is the K frame painted.. It's still shiny since it was recently sprayed. Tomorrow it'll dull down once it's dried, to the finish I want.
Tomorrow I am gonna rough out the body work on the cowl lead seams, weld up a hole on the firewall and a few on the inner fender where the A/C components went and then do some seam sealing down the A pillar area, like factory and then epoxy it. Next weekend I'll start on the roof rust repair and strip the roof of all the original paint. I still have to strip the E coat off the new fenders and epoxy them.. Pretty soon the outside of the car will be all one colour!
