Getting Duster reasy for paint!

-
After some trouble with my air compressor i finally managed to get a couple coats of fresh primer layed on today!:-D
Gonna block it out one more time plus gotta do the door jambs and inside the trunk yet then it will be finally ready for paint!
I'm shooting for one to 2 weeks after Carlisle to have it painted!

Sour Apple Green, i got it from Summit. It's probably not the best paint but it's just gonna be a driver, so far the primer has layed on real nice i'm hoping the paint comes out just as good!
 
Quick update, got the inside the trunk primed gonna try and get the door jambs and the small parts done sometime this week.

EXCELLENT!!! I should have left my engine out when I decided I was going to repaint the car... ugh... Now i'm half-heartedly finishing up the body work..Keep us updated
 
Looking good, that is a great color, don't know about the paint, but they did a car with in one of the Hot Rod mag's and had good things to say about it. Make sure you lay down a guide coat before your final sanding, it will show you anything you missed. Better to find it now than after paint.

Quick Update!

I should be able to finish them this week and re-primer next weekend then a final sand and FINALLY will be ready for paint!
I hoping 2-3 weeks for paint!:toothy10:
 
Lookin' good:thumblef: I know that there will always be that one spot you missed or didn't see until it's too late....even with tracer coat there is always some inperfection that you see after the fact, and if someone begs to differ, I shall call them GOD:prayer:...LOL:toothy10:
 
Ive got a nice ding in my trunk lid I didnt see till it was cleared. Oddly enough, I missed a ding on my bosses Nova when we painted that too.
