Thanks again all of you guys!! Today was a very long day starting at 8AM with mixed results ending at about 7PM. We got everything in silver base but not without several issues along the way which required some curing time then a light scuff in thousand grit then a follow up coat of base. By the time we got it all recovered we were wiped out, sick from solvent fumes and very hungry so we are shooting the clear on first thing Sunday Morning. At least the weather is supposed to be a repeat of Sat. Here's a few shots from today. Thanks again for all the great words of supports you guys!! Justin
A few shots just before it went into the booth.
Into the booth and ready to begin hanging all the closing panels and situating to Ricks liking. There's Skip a buddy of Ricks looking things over and enjoying his "breakfastbeer"
He was big help today and was glad he was there.
Doors were hung as they mount so the metal flake would react to gravity just as they would if mounted to the car for consistency with the fenders. We sprayed the initial coat on the deck and hood in their natural state as well for a similar effect. After a good base was established we hung them so Rick could shoot the backs sides as well.
Rick suited up and ready to lay down the first coat.
Everything now in initial base. Lids as you can see hung up by this point.
Just as Bruce described, everyone drinking beer between coats. Skip's there picking out all the specks of lint and missed areas to Rick.
We had our troubles today but Rick did a great jog laying down that flake.
By the time I took these however I was too tired and beat up to appreciate it fully. It will look even better to me after a good nights sleep I have no doubt. Going to sign-off here so I can be ready for part two tomorrow. My thanks again to you guys for all the great posts of support! Justin
