Painting method used?

Hambers - 1. What painting method do you think was use to get this end result?

2. Is this semi gloss clear over primer or a semi gloss one stage paint?

This '54 Chevy is may all time favorite Chevy with a great chop, cool stance and a *****ing paint job. I was told the car was build in San Jose, Ca. The photo is from the 2007 Paso show last of the cool times.

Thanks guys

to me that looks like a flat clear sprayed over a regular base. you can flatten any clear.

 

It looks to me like a real basecoat, with a pearl. Then a clearcoat with some(not alot) of flattner. I will agree its beautiful.

 

i miss that car

 

WATCHA. Why do I want to say Rod Powell painted that? He's on here. Juan (Deadender60) will know for sure. Killer ride no doubt.

 

Looks to me like a flattened downed single stage. You can take a rag with some thinner on it and hold it on a spot that isnt seen, like the bottom of the rocker. If after about 20 seconds it shows the color of the car, its probably a single stage enamel. If it doesnt, its cleared.

 

Rod only did the lace on the roof

 

Did you own that car Tommy?

 

no, my brother built it

 

Ahhh,you're brother has a great deal of talent

 

i miss that car too! i know rod only did the roof , but i'm sure he can tell ya what to do he is da man ..........

 

you nailed it.

 

One of the best 54s EVER

 

Really? I was guessing flattened single stage as well. Anyone have a closer up pic?

 

i think i just creamed my pants lookin at that car.
i'm a ****er for a 54.
i want that for christmas.

 

tough to tell from that pic, but im gonna say its got clear on it as its got lace.

either its gloss clear not rubbed, or a little bit of flatner and really snotted on


looks good though, however it was done

skull

p.s. red gold toner over a silver or gold base will get ya that color, at least as it appears ion my computer

 

it's only a base coat with some cleaner sparyed on it to wipe it down

 

I like the slanted posts, if it is chopped how much? What is the back window from? Great looking '54!

 

Watcha! One fine Payaso ride.......Waiting for Watcha II. Que onda Tommy?
