Hi all,
I have finished the body work. My primer is here and the Rangoon red is otw. Next weekend I will shoot the paint. Just got off the phone with NPD to the tune of 900 bucks in new weather stripping and my GT mod parts. ouch! What did Scott H say. Caracountis lol. I am trying to get it done for the big Mustang rally here. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the help along the way!!

PS- I will let you all know how the user friendly water borne aircraft paint works.

 

I can't wait til im at that stage and have the money. I still gotta get my new fender aprons welded in and rear quarter panels replaced. Then I was going to price sandblasting + priming, then make the calls about paint. Are you going with original color?

 

whos water based paint are u using? some of them require a 1.3 or smaller tip gun make sure u check in to it!! dont forget to wax and greaser good cause the water based paints are kinda troublesome when it come to inproper procedures!

 

HI all,
In answer to a couple of questions about my painting the car. I am going with Rangoon red. It was a factory color for '65. I think I am going with it because I like the name. I am using paint from Aircraft Finishing Systems. http://www.aircraftfinishing.com/ You are right about prep. and tip size. The Base coat shoots from a 1.2 or 1.3 tip

how long did it take to finish the body work?? any bondo??

 

As you can see, he has bondo work to fill in the scratches, etc. That is apropo.

 

wish my car was that straight. looks very good. also, please share your experience with the water paint.

 

Im still jealous, did you get your car sandblasted or grind it all off yourself?
