Draker Posted May 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Little further on this quarter. 5 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Still have some little holes to fill. Then try to correct some waves in the supersonic line, then on to doing the wheel arch and below the c pillar vent. The rear tail light panel is bent to shit. I pulled what I could with the stud welder. The crunch is right where the trunk latch is.. so I can reach it from the inside. Should be able to get decent results with a little filler. If it looks like trash I might have to order a replacement panel. 3 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Had to fix a few more areas on this quarter panel. These are places were the panel was replaced at some point. Not done well.. so I had to reshape the area a bit. I got the rear panel straight, but I thought the radius line might be a little of... checked it and confirmed. Way off... lol So I fixed that. Custom made filler application tool. 7 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks! My only problem is.. I've never sprayed color on anything before. Gonna have to find a panel to practice on I guess. Oh, the other problem is that the time is ticking!! 2 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 You can spray top coat if you can spray primer( without runs). Do some practice panels to gain confidence and then rent a spray booth to do the whole car at once. You can do it! Sticking with the beige? And that ass looks good. Get it back together for Canby and then paint before Dats-n-Rods 2 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Just got done for the night. Put in 13 hours today of blocking and priming. Will wet sand with 500 grit and see what needs another round of fixing. Trunk lid is basically ready to shoot. Will make a final inspection and see about getting some color on it. Would have taken pics but everything looks the same. Will start again early and see what I can get done. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Another 11 hours today, but have something to show for it. Color is close.. but probably a bit more orange than the car. Hard to say.. Sprayed this With this 4 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Upgraded the Walter white spray booth. Ran some rope along the ceiling to make a track for the plastic. So far so good. 3 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Little peal and dust.. but I like it. Could it be better, yes. This is the first time spraying color so good enough. Middle pic is of a junk door I sprayed to test the gun settings and check the color match. Pretty close.. not perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Nice work on your 510. Paint the whole car and then color match is not a problem. 2 Quote Link to comment
