Those body lines were meant to have a color like this. It is beautiful.

I was wondering what color it was. It is going to be very nice on the truck..

What you state is what I believe to be true also and how I do all my stuff. I never paint a door laying down on a stand. But you are spraying a very high metallic blue it appears. I have never been able to get away with what I call panel painting. Say painting the fenders one day and the...

We are of the same thinking. I'll block a run out in a heartbeat over sanding out orange peel. Any day.

Just call me "Eagle eye" I'm only good at spotting them because they are my arch nemesis. And I'm just picking with you. The job you have done is amazing. Love the color.

Looking good. Love the color

super nice job. I'm just picking around,but Do I spy a gravity indicator? I ask because they are my specialty. I tell my wife "that's how I know I have put down just enough".

After further review of the facts and actually reading the whole thread I would like to retract all comments.

Haven't read the whole thread. No one. And I mean know one can make new paint look that old paint. Paint less dent repair is the way to go. They will have trouble with the thickness of the older cars sheet metal. But a professional could make that good I truly believe that.

Save it. I wished my trunk floor was that nice.

I have been using "PPG" products for the last two years in my shop for my bases. I have used Shopline,Shopline Plus, and PPG DBC lines. Solid colors I use Shopline. Cheaper and covers good because I tint my sealers and primers. Shopline Plus for any Metallics. I used the DBC line for any of...

Try researching homemade guide coat. You need something white

Sorry. But always epoxy. Their are newer primers that are DTM (direct to metal) but they are trying to replace a far superior product in epoxy. Yes the cold is the deal breaker for epoxy. Don't qoute me. I know the temp has to be about 60. But I have heard that getting in the sun even if it's...

Saw that too

Just leave this here for us to discuss. Lol. Seen these "space walk" booths and they caught my eye. What y'all think.

Guess I need to get these to the chromer.

Lol.

Is paying to have the originals rechromed that much better than say like a AMD bumper ??

Yep. All these prices have got me leaning so far to dechroming mine and painting them B5 like the rest of my car. The Chrome Guy in Baton Rouge,La says 600 a piece is his starting price. That's 1200 bucks. (See my amazing math skills). I could damn near go EFI for that.

Those rates are for collision work. Doubt anyone can find "restoration labor rates" anywhere close to 56 a hour. Hell. I'm a part time back woods shop and I'm more than that. This is harsh but it is the way. 16K for a paint job sounds expensive but your not asking for a paint job. Your asking...
