Customs **BadLuck 52 Part 2- Paint**

ooOOOoh damn.. i didnt even think of that! its going the same color but without the flake.. kinda want top and bottom same color.. but you are right.. that would look sick

 

thanks guys for the support.. this "driveway builder" appreciates it

 

quick break.. Carl's Jr. run...

 

I chopped my 55 Caddy hardtop and the vent windows are pot metal. I have cut them down to fit and they have been welded back together and chromed again. It CAN be done

 

I second the flake scallops idea....

 

i agree it would look nice.. but I already have my paint

 

SO! There's always time to adjust the game plan,haha...

 

lookin good!!!!!

 

See man this is why you should pm me and run your color options past me!!

I'm in agreement with Bob.... It would look pretty stinkin' slick!!!!!

 

Sweeet

 

thanks guys..

 

You're funny! i should go ahead and just send you a paint chip so u can get it out in the sun and make an intelligent decision haha!

 

painted my jambs tonight..

 

cool

 

True, i know it can be done.. but from what ive heard.. its a pain in the ass. We'll see, i might go ahead and work with the originals and see what happens.

 

I sent them a jigged up pot metal frame already cut and fit , the glass band welded but not metel finished. Sherms did all 4 pieces for just under 1k. A bit pricey but they turned out beautiful. Too nice for my car in its in process look so I ran without side glass

 

wow, thats good to know thanks.. gives me another option

 

Love it!

 

Looks good dude!

 

I'll pm you my address!!!

You're doing a fine job!!!

 

Finished spraying out the inside of my trunk today.. back taped it so I only have very little overspray to sand once its closed. Turned out good.. will rarely see the inside of my trunk.. but at least i know its painted!











just in time before dark!

 

BL.... you can really see the flake in this pic!!!! If you go all green flake, whew how awesome that'll be!!!

 

thanks buddy! Well the rest will be the same color.. minus the flake.. Just the roof..dash, steering wheel, and interior garnish pieces are getting flaked.. gettn closer

 

Cool!! I took my steering wheel to the body shop today to have repainted, for my 51 sport coupe.... He's painting it white and Lime Rock Green. We'll see how I like that! I sure like it on the hyundai cars...oops!

 

Hi BL.Very nice job.Keep up the good work.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
Leo

 

I support you on the same color minus the flake for the body.. I like simplicity

 

How funny, i looked at that color too! Cool color.. hey our steering wheels will kinda look alike!

I got this one from a buddy.. early 60's Nova.. 16 inch... sanded, fixed a few cracks and primed.. gonna paint in a few days.. Top and bottom green and flaked.. middle section the Vintage white... kind of a cool wheel, i like the center cap.. clean and simple

 

thanks guys

 

you could put a "bullet" in the center for a custom look...

 

I was thinking of that too.. but kind of like the center piece too I don't know yet...
