Projects Keep your shirt out of the clear coat, dumb A**

Well other than my shirt sliding across the final coat of clear, the '39 came out pretty good. I think it will sand out, if not, I'll be painting the rear fender again....



Here is a sneak peek from flamedabone's ghetto paint booth. More pics tommorow, or the next day...it took 11 beers to get this thing done, and I'm tired as a mo-fo....



-Abone.

 

If there is enough coats of clear ,You will be ok .If not sand smooth and reclear .

 

It could have been worse, it could have been your prize rodeo belt buckle instead

 

Cool Jeff, can't wait to see more.

BTW, what kinda of paint did you spray?

 

Looks pretty sweet!

 

Impressed as usual......

 

very nice i did the same thing with my first paint job. i was very careful to not have the air hose hit anywhere moped the floor before i sprayed. and then it happened i didn't tuck my shirt in and found streaks in the clear. but i had enough clear on that i was able to cut and buff.

 

Looks great, lol on the paint booth, mines the same but I used 3 cheaper fans.

 

only 11? That looks like an easy 17 beer paint job to me.

Dyn-O-Mite job...

 

Here is kind of an update...I drank some more beer and **** canned some of the masking paper..




Last one till tueseday or so.....



I;'m ****in tired...-Abone.

 

Based on those pics, your gonna be okay thats for certain. Nice job for your own booth, look ma no bugs

 

The most perfect black cars come out of that garage of yours. I my friend am jealous.

 

Why ya think clear coats are used all the time these days? So ya can buff out yer ****-ups....haha....

Looks just killer!!!!

 

^This

When I get out of this damn apartment I want to learn to do some of my own garage paint and body

 

Abone,
Very nice lookin paint job.

 

very impressive, nice job and kudos for being able to do it at home, I could only imagine what horrors would arise if I tried it

 

Beautiful!

 

Man, that looks good! I'm seriously paint/body handicapped. Wish I had the skills. Anything else on the car, I'm in, but body work I don't have the "feel" for.

You may be tired, but stand back and take it in...it was worth it!

 

I had a garage one time when I first came to Barrie, with a flat roof and no insulation between the joists. I got a ****load of those pink fibergl*** insulation batts that compression fit between the joists so I could get it warm enough in there to work on the coupe I was building during the winter. (I did have an oil furnace in there). Next summer a guy showed up one day with a Camaro that he wanted a custom paint job on. I figured it was good for a fast $500 profit, so I prepped it in the garage, and did all the base-coats with the garage doors open.--This was done in the evenings and weekends so as not to interfere with my real job. On the day I shot the clearcoat, I layed about 6 coats of clear on, with just enough time for a good "flash off" between coats----then when I went to shut the garage door (which I had open and shut about 20 times while doing the colour coats with no problem)--I'll be ****ed if the door didn't catch the corner of one of those pink insulation batts in the ceiling and pull it loose and laid it right across the trunk and rear fender in the fresh clearcoat!!! Needless to say, by the time I fixed that mess, there was very little profit remaining.

 

Very nice. It feels good to do it your self.

 

very nice hot rod

 

she looks mean!!!!

 

Wow! great choice of colors. It's looking great.

 

That looks killer. What do the neighbors think?

 

Hero

 

Looks great!!

 

Looks pretty good to me!

 

Jeff, that looks good, especially the front shot with the offwhite firewall and poncho

 

I do dumb sh*t all the time. I'm sure it will sand out... looks great!

 

Yoke: As a friend of ours would say...*****IN' !!!
