Thanks all!
It always feels good to get to this milestone on a project.
Seeing how happy Ron is , well, that's the real reward.

 

Looks really nice and I like the colour a lot. Great story as well. Now only if you were a little closer.

Have gun, will travel.

 

This was painted with VOC compliant
U Tech single stage.
In case anyone wondered

 

Great story Flow, and yes I was wondering about the paint used. Thanks for the info and keep us updated on that great car.

 

Good on you flow. can you come out and show me how to sand? i'm a real slow learner so i'll get your room ready. hahaha

 

Great story, cool build. Congrats to both of you.

 

I understand the "I wanna do it all myself",but sometimes our bullheadedness really gets in the way.

I applaud you for helping your friend when he needed to had over the gun! HRP

 

What everyone else said, way to go flow!! You said something the world should live by, "Seemed like the thing to do". Lippy

 

What kind of paint, and what color blue is that. I mean does it have a name- code or a car etc. where it was used ?

Does it photograph well , does it look darker in pictures than it is ?

 

Thanks Pumpman, Shopdawg, Hotrodmyk, HRP, and lippy.

The paint is U Tech 3.5 Single stage, it was just a color I picked from
the Sikkens Colormap, I used it before on a scale I restored, Ron liked it,
so that is what we went with.
Kind of Washington Blue'ish

Here are a few more pics from bringing it home Sunday

 

Uploading grief is happening

You can actually see him smile in this picture!

 

On a roll

Man that turned out nice Kelly. Looks close to the kind of color I am looking for. I will have to hit up Perry to see some U tech stuff.

 

Thanks K13,
Tell Perry I said Hi!

 

Nice job and way to go. That visor is the cat's PJ. Gary

 

Cool story. Great looking car. Kudos to both of you.

 

I drove by the house a few days ago and saw the coupe was gone. Hoped it was in for paint!

Looks great, I'm going to stop by next time the door is open.

 

I looked up that paint, it says single coat application. So one coat is what you do ? Is it used with a catalyst ?

How is it to spray, do you use a supplied air respirator ? Or does the low VOC mean you don't need to ?

Just curious after all the discussion around how the catylized paints can kill you.

 

U Tech 3.5 is VOC compliant meaning it is at or below the limit of
Volatile Organic Compounds allowed in Canada to be released into the atmosphere
It is measured in lbs/gallon
It is a catalyzed product, the ratio is 3:1
I used my charcoal respirator in this situation, the booth works very well.

The tech sheet does say it can be applied in a single coat,
that is primarily for industrial applications.
In this case I sprayed a single coat, then a double header.
And this will be getting dust nubs sanded out and polished.

In a less than adequate environment,
I would strongly recommend a supplied air mask.

 

Care to share the color code ?

 

Turned out really good , tumbs up for you helping out a friend

 

Flow, you are my hero of the day.
When I found out i cant paint I had a friend who knew what he was doing standing by. We painted some of the cars in my yard as he kept getting madder and madder. Finally, he said something like "Stick to krylon and shoot my wedding for me".
I did. The wedding photos came out great, and my car still needs paint.

 

Easy to see where the name came from "flow". Looking good!

 

Thanks everyone!
It is really good to see him so happy.

czuch, thanks for the laugh!

There is the first show of the season here this weekend,
I keep mentioning he should get it together enough to drive it down, but he is sticking to his guns about not rushing it just to put it in a show.

Blue One, the color is from the Sikkens Colormap # CM476H5

 

Thanks, I'll compare it to what I have chosen just to compare.
