Ok, sorry for the lack of posts. I have been spread out pretty thin with getting this car done, pushing to get everything ready for the C10 nationals, the 56, and the tornado. Then a week of lost sleep when yet another one strikes again!!
So I got the car in the booth the other weekend and worked hard to get this thing ready. It started off with 5-6 coats of this paint just to get coverage and everything was looking pretty good. Had some dirt in the paint as I had to lay on the ground to spray under it then clear, but the real disaster was the last coat of clear. Wrong hardener, bad hardener, too heavy, new to me high solids clear, bad technique, tired, new gun, new booth (a friend of a friends). Just too many variables!! The main thing is that it was able to be saved!!
So, if anyone is scared of paint and body work, or doing anything in general, because you might fail or not succeed. Don’t let that stop you. Sure people will tell you how they are perfect and how it always goes according to plan on the internet, how you should do it their way, you did it all wrong and you suck, etc... That is so far from the truth. So get out there and start building your dreams!!!
