Re: 55 Wagon Progress

My buddy Dan was doing some mechanical work on a 59(?) Vette that needed some under hood help..

Epoxy....





Hot Rod black....








He said the worst thing about me painting this was it made the hood hinges look like crap, so he had to strip them and get out the Krylon silver


Got some more done on the wagon last night. I had picked up a few cans of Dykem real cheap at the local Habitat store, so I thought I'd give that a try for guide coating. It seemed to work well, and the translucent properties of the Dykem showed up darker in the low areas after sanding/highlighting (especially after more than one coat) to better show the lows.





Used the AFS sander and some 400 grit to highlight the defects...





High's and lows





Here's the tools used this evening, including the creeper





Got a couple hours of metal bumping left to do, will post results next time around...
