Paint meets Shoebox, my DIY paintjob

rad

 

looks great..congrats

 

great job

 

Man, you really nailed it! How much of a chop is that. Is that 2 stage paint, or single. What color black is it - mine is midnight black and I've sprayed some dupli color on it and in the sun it has a brown tint to it. Please continue to post pictures of your progress - Thanks

 

Looks great Chris! Love it....

 

nice!

 

looks great can't wait to get mine this nice.By the way thanks for the wood chisel tip on th rear fender seams worked great ,everyone else had told me to just grind them off.Your chisel idea was easy and they came right off no damage.

 

I used Lacquer so it is single stage, and it also looks a bit brownish, in the sun.
As for the chop, check out the link with the build thread I started last year, it should say how much I chopped it, I think 5" in front 6" in rear.

 

That chop took the car quantum leaps forward. Congrats, you nailed it. BTW, The paint job ain't too shabby either.

The purty is in the prep, really good prep, GREAT JOB!

 

Well done sir. The chop is spot on.

 

beautiful!!!

 

Looks like a job well done . what an improvment from primer.

 

Looks like you pulled it off, Great job,,,,Sam

 

looks great man

 

thats a good lookin shoebox bro. Nice work you can tell you have pride in her

 

I think all the superlatives already got used up but I do believe you nailed it on that one. It should really be great when it's all back together and finished.

 

Nice work Chris.....

 

damn Chris, that looks really good. I am soo glad to some shiney paint. Acrually it is the body work that makes it look soooo good

 

Lookin good. Look forward to seeing it in person.

 

very very nice lookin shoebox but i thought that while looking at your build thread the paint is just the icing on a VERY slick cake

 

Answer the door Chris, or Rod & Custom will break it down.

 

Beautiful job, I can't wait to see the rest of the car come together.

 

great job

 

Sweet *** sweet

 

Looks great, Chris. Nice meeting you last weekend by the way.

 

Looks damn FINE to me Chris!

Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!DIY paint is the only way to go, I painted my roadster in a one car garage with a portable compressor, and one 60 watt light bulb. Great job!!

 

I always tried to do the one man deal also Chris. Nice job.
Just too old now

 

Hey Chris! So much for stimulating the economy!
You chopped it yourself....so there's one guy not making any money,
You did the bodywork yourself...so there's another guy not making any money,
You painted it yourself...yet,another guy not getting any work!
Now,you say you're going to do the upholstery yourself!!!!
If you start talking to yourself...you won't need friends either!!!!
I'm starting to get worried!!!! hahaha!

Just messing with you buddy! I've said it before...you are one very talented guy! You seem to have a knack at achieving any goal you set! I'm sure this Shoebox will be just as stunning as the Coupe is! can't wait to see what you do with that '36!!!!
