Tried my hand at paint today...
LOL @ “paint booth”. Bud this is just your run of the mill 2 car garage I cover what I didn’t want overspray on and I took my time taping. The biggest thing was for months I keep the car and floor as dust free as I could. After final sanding I cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned some more. More than I care to ever do again.
So after I corrected the first two runs I created more problems. The paint seemed to go on more splotchy so I’ve got to figure out how to now correct that or leave it alone. I’m tempted to say screw it. This ain’t ever going to be a show car anyhow, but I do want it to be at least decent and presentable.
Oh well on to next issues. It seems my 14” air cleaner won’t clear the hood. Even with a pretty big drop base. Anybody got suggestions? Maybe a smaller filter assembly. 12” or 10”? It’s a 440 with RPM intake.
