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.:tup
