Paint Job on my 71 Firebird
LeighP:
OK...so we've reached the stage where theres enough progress to warrant more pics.
Car is back in pieces, getting the final undercoat - it'll be blocked and get the base colour on it next week.....theres a public holiday coming up, so its a short week, but at least it should be in the base colour.
Heres a pile of Firebird parts ready for priming.
Doors are done.
And the body freshly primed.
LeighP:
WE HAVE SOME COLOUR!!!!!!
Well, its only the base colour, they still have to apply the top colour (pearl green) over the base, but he's identified a couple of extremely slight low spots he wants to fix first....so since tomorrow is a public holiday, the guys are also getting friday off to make a long weekend...so mine will sit till next week...hardening up a little.
LeighP:
Finally - COLOUR!!!!!!!
They phoned me late today....seems the booth was free and the painter was keen to paint it....
Even the panel shop owner is impressed with the colour choice.
Without further delay.....the shell - freshly painted.
Is that cool, or what? The pearl in the paint really shows off under the lights of the booth - I can't wait to see this in the sun. And this is just "off the gun". :cool: :cool:
Gene:
Looks magic............the pearl really lifts the colour....thanks for sharing :)
