STU111 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 I guess my favourite and best paint job to date is my 71 442 Olds. My first attempt at painting it red ended in tears and the Olds going for a dip in the iso propyl alcohol bath. But, l rebounded and produced my best job so far, victory from the jaws of defeat as they say. Cheers, Stuart. 6

Then 5 coats of TS-13 starting with very light coats, ( to guard against decals wrinkling ) building up to a final wet coat. Then I left it for a month or so and slowly rubbed it out with 8,000 then 12,000 grit micro mesh. I fluked it, as the bodies I’ve sprayed since just haven’t come out as well despite using much the same technique.
TransAmMike Posted September 21 Posted September 21 Well all the attention to detail and that long process sure paid off. Just beautiful. Me, I have no patience to finish a paint job over month long process. Again, terrific job👍👍
