like glass , realy good looking

ajgriffin · 09-29-2015, 03:20 PM

Looks great! What are the pieces of tape for on the panels? Looks like there are 4 pieces to point something out...1 behind the passenger rear door, another on the passenger rear quarter and 2 on the passenger side fender

Frizzle Fry · 09-29-2015, 07:36 PM

I'm not there, but yes that's the general idea.

It looks like they are cutting and buffing the paint so the tape is where the painter sees something he wants to come back to and polish a little more. It's easier to wet sand and buff an entire panel (which look great on this car) at once. Then nit pick and come back for little details.

Very nice!!!

knomadd · 09-30-2015, 09:51 AM

That's coming out great! I've used that tape method before. As others have already said, it's to mark locations that need more attention. Whether that's just more polishing, or more wet sanding and polishing, it's just a way to make sure you don't forget about something you aren't happy with.

mcbassin · 09-30-2015, 09:56 AM

Paint looks incredible!

Spring..?

Too many predictions have come and gone. Lot's of work yet to be done including painting the engine/trans and powdercoating suspension parts, etc. But it's all downhill from here, right..?

Frizzle Fry · 10-03-2015, 12:41 PM

Latest pics. These were taken with my phone yesterday and show a truer representation of the color:

watahyahknow · 10-03-2015, 12:56 PM

Glad you came around

watahyahknow · 10-03-2015, 03:08 PM

like i said before , i hadnt seen the colour on the car when it was allmost put together
it still looks a bit to modern but ohw man its "out there" no sleeper look on this car

the pastelblue might be more period correct still but would post a statement like this colour does

You're right, I've deviated completely from the sleeper theme haven't I?

Man that looks tight! Nice job to all!

38chevyhotrod · 10-06-2015, 04:02 PM

The color came out nice(at least on the pictures)
I know for a fact that pictures don't do justice.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-07-2015, 02:18 PM

OMG! Is that a ding???

I kid.... I kid....

watahyahknow · 10-07-2015, 04:43 PM

theres a joke i seen once pulled on the proud owner of a car :
take a piece of ducktape and pull out one of the strands
kindah trow it against the bodywork and it will look like a scratch
then go to the owner and ask if he seen the ....etc
once hes done venting his frustration tell him you have a trick to remove the scratch and use youre finger to rub the strand intoo a ball
might be good for a laugh sometimes

My buddy and I joke that once we have it figured out how long our project will take, apply a quad to it and you have it just about right! LOL

This paint is so killer! Whatever the look, the car looks awesome and I'm enjoying the ride watching it come together!

67ChevyRedneck · 10-08-2015, 10:42 AM

With the car being at the paint shop for so long... doesn't that free up time and shop space at home for a certain Chevrolet Tahoe???
