Thanks for your cooperation Ausssie!!!I have a lot more practice to do before I would tackle my car.
But by the time I finish Chris's car I should be getting pretty close.
A year and a half to jack it up, sounds like a 30 year prison sentence!Wife's '71 Mach1 "M code" went to the paint shop in May 2023. Went by there Friday, and yes its unbelievable but the car has been jacked up and put on jack stands! So much progress I was absolutely impressed.View attachment 94004
I built a paint booth out of 2x4, and old wedding tent and a big roll of plastic, got 16 $12 LED lights, bought a compressor for $1600, paint guns, primer and paint, assorted sandpapers, 3m finishing products, a buffer tool sanding blocks, fillers, explosion proof exhaust fan, air filters, etc, painted the car, sold the compressor for $1200…..total cost for 2 tone custom job, about $4500.Ribs has me inspired. Never done it, but hell, it's worth saving the money and the time.
Actually, the car was painted with a gloss black single coat over epoxy primer. Then vinyl wrapped the color flips from dark metallic green to black. The wrap should be good for 5-10 years on a garage queen such as mine so it is a good choice. While I am confident in my ability to paint, I know my limitations and this color flip is beyond my ability in paint, but not in vinyl wrap. I also installed that myself.Way to go guys. And rvanamg; that looks like a metalic finish?
Thats the hardest to get right.
