I did 4 coats knowing it would need some work ;)

So, I went ahead and used a Nason Base/Clear system for the red. The paint turned out pretty good, but have some sanding/buffing to do yet. I went ahead and painted the whole hood with the base/clear and used the stencil from Graphics Express. I scuffed up the blackout area and painted with SEM...

Question for those of you that have done the hood/rocker blackout. Did you base/clear the entire car first, then scuff up areas to blackout? Or did you prep off blackout areas before you did the base/clear? I am thinking it would be easy enough to prep the rockers off before base/clear, but the...

Beautiful car 👍!! Any issues with waxing the single-state PPG Hot Rod Black paint? Sorry for the stupid questions, I am pretty new to this paint stuff!

Thanks for the info Greg!

Thanks for the info and pics! When you use the single-state paint for the accents did you paint and clear the color on the whole car first then sand and paint the blackout areas? Or do you mask off the blackout when doing base/clear and do the blackout separately? The look you have on the...

Ya… I guess I was wondering what people used when they did blackout… Same clear as the base color or different??? In my mind you may want a semi-gloss or gloss finish on the base color and then satin or flat on the blackout. Do people do different clear, or do they use the same clear for the...

Got the car running over the weekend. Both the tach and voltmeter work flawlessly... thanks Rocketman!

I am looking at painting my car (71 Mach 1) in the next few months and am admittedly a beginner/novice body & paint man. I have had good luck so far with the epoxy primer, filler, and primer filler. I am looking for some advice on a paint system to use. My car will be bright red with the hood...

So.. I am way behind on my build pics, etc. but couldn't help but share...... first fire last night 😁

Got my Tach and Voltmeter back from Rocketman today and they look awesome! Can’t wait to get them in the car and operational. Thanks Rocketman!

I assume you are talking about Impact?? I am pretty sure that’s the Folken family that had the Pumpkin Center shop south of Humboldt for many years. Good people, their dad actually painted the car I am working on a couple times back in the 70’s.

I actually grew up in Humboldt…… small world

Front end was rebuilt with a Supreme Suspension and Steering Kit from CJ Pony parts.

I removed the rearend, replaced all the bearings and seals on the axles and 3rd member. Cleaned and some fresh paint.

After I got all the suspension removed I spent countless hours with a heat gun, putty knife, and wire wheel removing all the old undercoating. Once this was complete and cleaned I treated it all with POR-15 and applied a new layer of undercoating.

Southeast part of the state, little town called Montrose about 30 mi west of Sioux Falls.
