Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild

Well, finally nailed down a date on the exhaust parts. This week everything comes in. Ahhh yeah, finally!!

In the mean time, back to emblem painting. So I ordered some 1 shot 4007 hardener. The first time these were painted they never fully dried even after about a week.

This stuff is supposed to help it dry and also thinned the paint a bit which helped our technique. I say our, but really the little lady re-painted these again. We decided to use a needle and syringe. We pre-mixed the paint and hardener in a small plastic cup. 5 teaspoons of paint and 1/2 teaspoon of hardener. She sucked the paint into the syringe then put on the needle. Then she squirted the air out.

She slowly pushed the plunger to let paint flow and it self leveled. Worked great I think and no brush strokes.


Now just need to see how they dry.
