You guys have really been making progress and both really look great. I think your Ideas on the engine bay of seal then shoot the color really saves a bunch of time. I also really don’t like all that tedious sanding.
Rob, it is amazing the number of great looking cars you have up there, I thought we had the corner of that down here in So Cal but all those cars are really impressive.
Dennis, not that you have any shortage of cars but I bet you will be glad to get the Vdub back on the road.
I have been working on the 38 and have reshot it (all but the TO DO body work on) in sealer primer and followed up with high build. . well I am a very inexperienced with painting and this was my first time to shoot high build. WOW it was like shooting stucco, for me real hard to keep a wet line and had no flow. Well I should have asked my friend but I didn’t Boy when I told him he really got a big laugh and he asked did you reduce it? A very sheepish “no” was my answer. Here on out I will reduce it with some S L O W reducer and I bet it will work better for me. Live and learn . . . . . speaking of learning I found that my work is blocking Photobucket (messing with the format) and not allowing any coping of the IMG links. I found that I could get the links from my IPhone copy them into an email and send the links to work. Not that would ever do this of course.
