Folks Of Interest 1940 pontiac respray

a while ago I repainted a 1940 Pontiac for a friend, it had to be on a budget and could not take too long. I got it done in 2.5 weeks and within his budget. but only because it was a rust-free and straight car. i used about 300grams of bondo on the whole car and it came out pretty nice.
the car:



the reason for the respray:






after sanding down the fender i realized it was a solid car and a bare metal respray would be the best:

 

epoxy


primer:

 

week 2, collor.
ready for 2k paint.

3 coats of gray:

 

I was not satisfied with the result, (cheap 2k paint) dust and some silicones.
left it for 2 days to cure
sanded everything again with 800 and 1000 sandpaper

 

and two layers of quality cromax clear coat

 

Turn out real good!

 

Yep, nice car!!! good job!

 

You did a great job and the color could not be better for that car.

 

Thanks.
My friend was very happy with the result. Despite the blue paint was in a very bad shape, I have rarely seen a rust and bondo free car like this, maybe i was lucky.
