    Will it make it...??

    ...to the Monster Bash, that is.

    These pics represents 2 coats of etching primer over mostly bare metal, and i'm fucking over it. I could not bring myself to strip the doors. The factory primer on this car was no less than 1/16 of an inch thick - no lie. Thats a lot. It took 4 runs of true aircraft stripper to get the paint and primer off the parts that did go bare, and then plenty of sanding after that. At this point if I can get a 20 footer out of this car I will be happy. I am now going to shop 2 or 3 body places and hand it over for the final hi-build prime coat and painting. Its going to be cutting it close for the show, but I hope to get it done. In other words, I have 3 options to get this car done - fast, cheap, & correct. Pick two.

    That could leave some stains. I would put the topcoat on first.

    Then I think you're supposed to wait 60 days.

      Update

      Got Big Blue back from the paint shop on Thursday and have just spent the better part of the weekend rebuilding him. I have been cleaning every piece of trim by hand before putting it back on, I mean front and back, every nook and cranny - there is not a speck of dirt, tar, or overspray from the last paint job on any of the stainless I took off. As for the paint job itself, it's not bad - you definately get what you pay for. At least its shiny. "What new paint job?" you ask - "let's see some pics..." Not a chance, but I will tell you all this - I won't be able to call him Big Blue anymore...ha HA! See it in person at the Monster Bash, homies!
