bigtankjones Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I hope to be seeing some color on my 70 in October. I hope. I'm hoping to get the final coat of High Build Prime on this weekend, I'm just sending the Body and rear tail light extensions to my Painter. then sending the front fenders and hood and trunk lid and other small pieces to him in the winter. 1
Rock Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 This was originally going to be just a rear quarter replacement and blend the paint but my body guy found some issues and I made the decision To do the whole car. I will keep the car gun metal Grey but the hood stripes will be going to gloss black Instead of flat black and the whole car is getting 2 coats of clear and wet sanded to a glass finish. 1
LS5 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Thats great Glen, I think your body guy's "Issues" are what we call a SNOWBALL.... hahaha I hate those Dam things.. nice new paint Glen cant wait to see. Â Darren.Â
Rock Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 I will have to post them slow and teaser style....just to keep you guys on the edge of your seats. God it's been a long summer not having my car. I think in the end it will be worth it. 1
cny first gen 71 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Thats great and the whole car to boot, it has been a long road but will be worth it in long run for sure, cant wait to see it.
Canuck Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Once it is done and you are driving it, the hassles you've been through to get it painted will be a distant memory.
Rock Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 I went up and looked at it yesterday, he has the first coat of gun metal grey on. Initial finish date was Monday but has been pushed back till Wednesday. The excitement is building! 1
Rock Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Finally got my car back....Here are a couple teasers....it turned out better than I hoped. More to come!
Leghome Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Looks really good Glen to bad you had to miss most of this show car season though.
LostnFound Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 It may have taken longer but it is done right.....looking great Glen.
Jared Richey Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Looks like this shop knew what they were doing, and done it in a reasonable time span.
