Ok guys. Its for the most part done, well as done as it getsas i am constantly changing things and still chasing oil leaks and blowing out problems and want to paint the valvecovers and small things. But anyways heres some pics after a little dirt track racing!!
I started by filling in all the factory holes in the fender deck with bondo, didnt take any camera pics cuz i kinda forgot but have them on my phone and facebook. After several coats of mud and HOURS of sanding away, it got 3 coats of nason 2k filler primer, then a final block sand on the third coat with 600 grit. On spray night, it got some nason 2k urethane sealer then it was time for the yellow on the deck halves as they are welded on. The greatest part of base coat clear coat is the working time. In literally 15 minutes after spraying the yellow, i had it all taped up and was spraying green. Three good coats later, i sprayed on the clear coat. Now untape the yellow and then i used the cheap Acme colision stuff from napa. Everything gets clear at the same time, not per each color. Not bad for only 30 bucks a quart with activator. he hood was not near as bad as it only required a little mud. The grille got sandblasted and painted gloss black the same as the frame with cheap napa base clear. My buddy works at deere, so he got me new decals for the sides of the hood pretty reasonable. All in all i did spend a lot ofmoney in paints, primers, and sand paper but it was well worth it. Especially looking back and havin my dad tell me i did all the prep work well and spraying things out nice and flat with minimal orange peel in the clear. Sooo, when i get it washed for the next race ill snap a few more shots but what ya guys think?
Notice its all smooth with no holes in the sides or middle of the fenders.
