Painting my new front end
5/25/11 First time using my new best friend. This was SO MUCH faster than by hand. Took like 20 minutes!  No before, but here's the after.  |

All sanded parts getting ready for first shot of primer  Fenders match after some plier/hammer work  Stopped at the auto body shop for some supplies. Body filler, base/thinner (1:1), clear/hardener (4:1), primer/thinner (1:1) I have two of most because of the leftovers I had from previous projects.  The ding and scratches from the sander. Note to self, never use such a super low grit (80) just to take off paint.  Poorly done job of ding fixing and sanding. I could still see after the first layer of primer.  Go away rain. I have to spray.  Rain went away so I sprayed. Just a couple coats for 320 grit sanding to see my imperfections.  Primered pics   5/30/11 320 grit sanding ready for a wash prior to another layer of primer   I still have to fix/fill/sand some parts before another coat of primer then 600/800 grit sanding prior to base coat. |
