Looking good! Nice to be able to feel you are getting somewhere after doing bodywork and know paint is the last part to complete.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Sure has been a long build.

Looks great! Did you spray it?

Looks great! Did you spray it?

A friend sprayed it. A little dust specks in the clear coat. Painter says we can use 2000 wet in about week to clean it up. I was worried about the condition of his home built paint booth. But he assured me it would be fine. He's going to come over and do the wet sanding in a week.

Turned out a bit more Red than I thought it would. Maybe it's just his booth lighting. But the price was right :thumbsup:

Hood is now painted. Taking her home on Saturday

This was also a colour change. Inside doors, hood and trunk.

My painter is a Pack Rat. lol

Looks GREAT Mikey. You will be stunned by what a bit of wet sanding will do!
My freind Pete has been doing freelance bodywork for over 20 years in a dirtier shop that yours was sprayed in. After he 'Blues it In' - It looks great.

Looks good. I always like that color on chevelles. Cant wait till mine has some color on it. My engine is sitting next to the car on the stand so Im thinking Im a little ways off for paint.

 

[Mikeys69]

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with it. I can't believe how she shines. Now I have to worry about the 1st. scratch lol.

 

[bracketchev1221]

Looks good Mike. Don't worry about the first scratch. It will come. I guarantee it. I've already been threatened with bodily injury by my friend doing the body work on my Chevelle right now.

 

[Mikeys69]

Under hood clearance problems. Nope..lol

Notice the block behind the rear wheel? The paint shop owner couldn't figure out how to use the QuickSilver shifter. l

Tomorrow she comes home and the real fun begin's. All the trim, rubber seals, bumpers etc etc...

 

[crazydavey]

looks great Mikey....don't rush the sanding, let the paint breathe a while or you'll just have to do it again.....gonna look awesome when it's done!!:thumbsup:

 

[Blood sweat & gears]
