Let it dry some coffee and a lot of sand paper and start blocking

Nice project, reminds me of when I was painting my 56 Chevy Bel Air in college, I had a booth similar to yours. I started with a HF gun and learned a lot, its now my primer gun. I got an Anest Iwata LPH400 for clear and base coat. I'm hoping to get back into working on my Chevy again, I don't have any good pics at work.

Here was mine after I rolled out, no door striker, latches in, no front coil springs...

Engine bay, I painted the inner fenders with some metalic gray single stage I had from a small job I did. The rest of the car is PPG 2 stage Deltron base I think and DC3000 clear. Frame is some black single stage I had laying around too. I some fenders and bumpers for friends for a little more than the cost of materials, was a good way to learn before my car and they understood I had little experience 8)

Ah I'm guilty of that too!
Time and extra money when you have both in good quantities you want a good solid project when you have neither your neck deep in nothing but projects.


I have met a few good restorers over the years the ones I like and look up too who do make a buck or two at it told me "You have to do something ANYTHING EVERYDAY or it will never get done hes right too When I kept up with that motto I was out there playing with a part at least or cleaning something up. I been making excuses for too long.
