72 RS Prototype Hot Rod Build!

(...) 5 days straight of block sanding, guide coat, block sanding, guide coat, wet sanding, guide coat, wet sanding, guide coat. Brutal, you really can't understand how much work it is to do a professional paint job!

That's why my body guy asked me to help out; it's the best way to show how much effort it is to prepare a body for paint.
that said, well done - it's looking great Scott!

Yes, it's much better to have 2 people on the job than one. A lot of shops only dry sand now but I can't see how that's even possible to get the results that wet sanding does. In Oregon we can still do it the right way and get the best paint.

I agree and thank you. Was pain of course getting all the discontinued toners and having it mixed but so worth it in the end.

So, 2 more days of wet sanding and masking. Friday spray day tomorrow! Gonna be a nice hot day. Painting in the afternoon.

80 degrees in Oregon today, finally! All new filters in the spray booth. Wiping down with wax and grease remover then tack cloth. White sealer than 4 coats of base/color. I'll pull it out in a few days for outside pics in the sun. This is by far my favorite color. Signal Yellow second favorite.

More pics. It's hard to get my phone to shoot it right.

More pictures in the booth.
