Thanks, it was a lot of work it took me 12 hours yesterday not incuding the stripe that I laid down the night before.

2.5 coats of stripe color
2.5 coats of ground color for blue candy
5 coats of candy mid coat (sprayed in a cross coat pattern Ughhh)
2 coats of black
All basecoat used was Waterborne, Glasurit 90 Line(black) Onyx HD ground coat & stripe, Carizzma candizz

3 coats of high solid clear, 1st coat med/wet with a Sata 3000 HVLP for the initial over atomized coat, 2nd & 3rd coat with a Sata 3000 RP for a nice full wet coat to fill in any peel.

Yeah it was a crazy amount of work for one day, the booth was 90* and I was a sweaty SOB.

All I have left to do is out line the stripe by hand with some one shot pin stripe paint, probably next week some time...then assemble

I remember working at SSV and the paint shop was over 120 degrees all day... I know how you feel...
 
Beautiful Smooth! I can't wait to see a finished product. How about I sell you my 91. You take it, throw one of your amazing paint jobs on it and then sell it back to me at the same price ;)

Thanks, I may have to take you up on that smokin' deal :dry: :icon_bigg
 
I have about 75% of the car thrown back together, the fenders,doors & qrtrs are re-sanded with 1000 grit ready for some pin stripe outline, then re-clear. So hopefully next weekend or the week after :)
 
It will be another week or so before it's complete, that car has been stick blocked with 1000 grit wet, then I will outline the stripe/flame with some "one shot" pin stripe paint and re-clear eveything

Here I started sanding 1000 grit wet






Just a quick buff on the fender edge to show final gloss
