rick suckered me into registering for another forum on the list of 50 i already frequent anyhow

new to the board hardly new to the hobby i got an 89 coupe thats about to go under the knife for a large and detailed build of which ill start a build thread once i get further into it. its in getting a cage installed right now

plans quickly include 4v mod swap. and IRS (03 cobra) and rotisserie paint job of a colour i made myself

 

Welcome and the build sounds most interesting especially the color thing. Keep us updated please

 

im paint for a living so its not scary its gonna be a 3 stage pearl white

 

Sweet. How many coats of clear will you apply and what's the maximum that can be applied to a car. Is there a benefit to apply more than say 3 coats of clear?

 

i did my brothers car two years ago. i did 4 coats of clear let it set for a few weeks wet sanded it all and applied 4 more coats
since then we have changed clear coats and putting 4 coats on now is to much for one sitting and will end up popping. do to it being so much thicker
so ill do 3 and 3 after the final three it will sit for about 4 months and ill sand it all and polish it.
more coats of clear is more protection from the suns UV rays! and in a paint job with lots of pearl or metallic it gives it a very deep look. of course when applying that much clear care must be taken to do everything right so its not going to flake off peel or chip

 

Welcome aboard.Your project sounds sweet.Can't wait to see the build,and end result.
