Sprayed epoxy primer last weekend. Need to spray a little more this weekend cause I ran out. Then time for some filler and some more sanding.

Funny you are. I thought I was done with this color, but apparently not just yet. Dont worry, It will be dark gray soon enough.

If you have a spray gun with a fat enough tip to spray a high build polyester primer I would recommened a coat or two of that followed by a black guide coat then knock it down. If you don't have to sand enough to get in to the epoxy primer you should be pretty straight. Seal it and then shoot your base coat.

Once I get the filler sanded using guide coat I have some 2k urethane primer(gray) to go on top. Think I should be good. Then hopefully some base coat in next couple weeks.

After a 1.5 years of rust repair..this what I've got. Im happy as hell with my first paint job done in the driveway. Now the fun part...reassembly and engine. I'll wet sand and buff once its on the road. Pictures werre sent through email and I dont know how to change them...sorry. I forgot my camera that day.

Got a little more done. Much more fun putting it back together than fixing rust.

Thanks Guy. I closed the doors after I put the windows in and realized I didnt have door handles on outside yet. Had to climb through the hatch to open them up again. Looks like it will be 3 weeks till I put the engine together. Hopefully you'll be around then and I can put you to work.
