You spraying the black first or blue?

[Slyder]

I sanded most of the car down. sealed up all my welds, fixed alot of small rust spots, and started bondoing.

You spraying the black first or blue?

I was going to spray the black first, then the blue and clear it all.

rust on my tank


after debating what to do i just cut the rust off below the seem (above the seam i grinded it down to solid metal) and welded in new stuff, rust proofed it, cleaned up the tank and sprayed it with a rubber coating.

my "new" bumper support





practicing using my hvlp guns






















few days before start:



few days After finish:



that was supposed to be the stock color.. in some lights it looks purple but its just dark blue.. i actually went to Rondex (autobody store) and gave them my paint code. So im thinking the made a mistake.. but what ever, i think it loots great!

i still need to color sand the car to get the dirt nibs out. unfortunately in 3 days im moving 1500miles away and have lots to do so i think the color sanding,buffing, and polishing will have to wait till next year. (is it ok if i do that?) anyways.

im done! (weight lifted off shoulders)

Wow! All I can say is wow! That is awesome. Nice work. Guess I get to try my hand next. Already know the rear bumper support and around the spare tire well are going to need major work. Getting ready to start the tear down process now. Again, Nice Work!!
