BluePanda Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 @Psywar... yep actually saw some of these pictures while looking around yesterday! Waco has painted a car this way before so I at least have that advantage. The primer is on and the first coat of orange is going to be on this afternoon! Pictures coming!! Promise.

BluePanda Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Since this thread should have some pictures... here's a few from the last two days: Yesterday we took off all the badges and gave her a nice bath... then we scuffed up the paint to take primer today. This morning Waco fixed a couple spots on the bumper since it was missing some chunks of paint... yay for plastic bumper The rear of the car with no more chevy badges -- had to put in some rivets on the right thanks to the dealer mounting their dealer badges. About an hour of taping up the headlights, windows, tail lights, and everything I don't want to be ORANGE. Waco finishing up a spot on the front that needed a little more sanding To the PRIMER!!! Had to use FOUR cans to cover the car -- LAME! First panel primed BUMPER! (yes I took off the hub caps -- I'm painting em BLACK) PRIMER COMPLETE!!! :D :D Have orange pictures later -- haven't put any orange on just yet -- SCARY!!

jammin Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Mask those wheels with some garbage bags before you get any more paint on them! Unless you're going to grab a new set of tires in the process of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Yeah, i also like to work on cars bare foot. Until the pavement becomes a bit hot in the lovely 80+ weather we have been having. At least it's good weather for painting. Mask those wheels with some garbage bags before you get any more paint on them! Unless you're going to grab a new set of tires in the process of course. Only got a tiny bit of primer on them no big deal, nice and soft will come of with a wash and drive. Have hub caps to put back on anyway. The rest of the paint is being applied with rollers so I'm not worried about any more paint getting on them -- only reason I didn't care about masking them up in the first place.

BluePanda Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 when can we expect some orange? First coats will go on tomorrow -- coats 1 and 2... but to see solid ORANGE it's going to be about 8-10 coats... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 FIRST COAT OF THE ORANGE! (9 more to go) Second coat will go on this afternoon -- I'll have some updated pictures, as it progressively becomes orange. The paint... The Car... ahhhh not so orange. But more so than I thought it would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
