wheee!

Three coats of European 5 Star Clearcoat later, I am out of the shop, letting it cure. I saw a couple sags from a heavy hand, but nothing too major. I can clean those up in the cut and buff. Overall very little trash and everything looks good. Hard to tell in the shop lighting but I am happy. Done!!!

So! Went to work this morning and started the base coat! First things first, a bunny suit! Then I washed down the floor with warm water to quell any dust bunnies. Then I walked around the car and hood with a tack rag, checking for any dust etc. Then on to the paint! First coat, still wet. Second coat: And third and final coat of water based British Racing Green! Next up: Clearcoat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seal coat sprayed this morning ! The finish was good but not smooth as it was before I sprayed the seal coat. So I broke down and sanded it all down again with 1000 grit, just enough to bring the glass like feel to the panels again. Tomorrow is the day for paint!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where are you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mines a Volkswagen version. Probably gonna have the same issue... Was yours a three wire? Mine has a pull down resistor to ground to keep it closed.

All sanded. Feels smooth like glass! Now to wash the whole car with soap and water, then re-mask the car and spray sealer before the base coat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First pass of the long block over the hi build on the door. The dent and repair took many hours of sanding and filling, but now I see it was all worth it! Flat!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sanding is going awesome! Slow but the results are good. So satisfying to see the roof sand out flat...!

Thanks guys! I’m glad I got my MSA order in last month! Saved about $50 in exchange rate. Still a few things to order but I’m gonna wait till the dollar recovers a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. Patience is key. I spotted a couple flaws that will need touching up before seal coat too. As expected...! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alberta company has a kit that healthcare workers can use to test for Covid 19 antibodies in 15 minutes. Cool back door method to test quickly. https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/mobile/new-territory-as-companies-roll-out-covid-19-test-kits-for-workplaces-1.4869968 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did a test on the sanding after an hour and a half and it was still “mudding up” a bit with the 400 grit. I’m gonna leave it till tomorrow to sand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe the “Jim Shim”... any reason to run one with the onesix dizzy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought this day would never arrive! Can I get a virtual high five from the forum please? High build (Valspar DTM prime and seal mixed 4:1:1) ready to sand in a couple hours and fill any last minute pinholes with putty. Then on to a mix of 4:1:2 for a seal coat before paint!

Masked and ready to spray! Hi build will go on tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
