Re: Skidmore '67 C20

It turned out pretty well for a first time in a garage, but I wouldn't do it again the same way.

Key take aways:
  • Rent a spray booth next time
  • Just use an air compressor and sprayer, don't think you are doing yourself any favors with a two-part can
  • Don't try to cut corners to reduce scope, just do the work that needs to be done the first time
  • Don't be afraid to use body filler coverage (not thickness)
  • When you sand filler and hit metal, apply more filler before sanding again.
  • Don't be afraid to use a finer grit sandpaper earlier in the sanding process when you need to sculpt a fine detail
  • Don't be too hard on yourself and match the job to the requirement, it doesn't need to be perfect
