Well Wolfie, that right there is exactly what I do when I am not trapping. That guy's engine paint color is way off for a truck engine though. It should be somewhere between dark gray and light black to be like it was when it came off the assembly line. I have two '52 five window cabs, a '49 3 window, and a '50 3 window. Love the grills on the 50-52 Chevy pickups….wouldnt past one of those trucks either

Less than ideal paint booth, but the black cherry is flowing. One more coat then 4 coats of clear.... The goal is to have to body painted and buffed before I take the camper to Spencer Monday for the NTA. Just wet the floor down ( Iam sure you did that ). I’ve sprayed cars in my friends garages and they came out fine. AFTER your done with the last coat of clear and it’s no longer tacky ….you can shut the exhaust fan off…..BUT KEEP a small fan running on each side of the car….to prevent it from solvent popping.

Ya, I wet the floor. I have two 18" fans running in the windows and the overhead door cracked. Surprisingly it's not to humid tonight considering the piles of rain we had the last 6-8 days. I'm giving extra time between coats and spraying light to try and stay away from solvent pop. Hard for me to do because I'm a heavy wet painter. Lol.
How do you color sand and buff Ness? I'll start with 600 wet and work my way to 3000 before I buff. I'm using 3m purple bottle and tan bottle. I mix the 2 together for buffing. Then finish with 3m machine glaze

I'll hafta look into it. Can honestly say I've never heard of it. I haven't been at it as long as you. I missed the laquer stage and start with Enamals and Deltron. Only been at it 32 years if you don't count my highschool car I did in shop class. Lol We don't get many new products here in middle of nowhere Iowa. There are plenty of you tube videos about the stuff. Looking Good ….how long did you let the clear cure…before buffing ? I let them set a week….but my collision stuff gets at least 24 hours.
