Painting and such

Update - the previous owner actually used a little bit o' bondo on one little section of a fender skirt... :lol:

The cowl is blasted either to bare metal, or original paint, as are the fender skirts. the bib is blasted down to metal, but I'm too damn impatient with the hood... I got sick of blasting... might try sanding it a bit, see if the 120 grit can give me a decent surface to work on.

I am, however, going to return the spray bomb cans, and use the spray gun... This means the metallic paint on the windshield will have to go, I wasn't really happy how it came out once fully dry - no gloss.

Can't decide between the hammered blue, and the regular enamel blue.. leaning towards the hammered, but I hope it shines some...

Oh, and Nicole wants to design some kind of art on the hood.. we'll see.

Now if I could just get my compressor to quit blowing oil out the gun! (i think it's because it's new)

Most any vehicle has body filler( bondo) in it from the factory. You can get an oil seperator to keep it out of your gun. Oil level too high maybe? Or was turned upside down with oil in it???

"(Crawling out of the cave I have been hiding in)" Rich you could throw one of those disposable inline filters on the end of your hose just in front of the gun, works good to keep moisture and oil from causing impurities in the finish. I have a few that I would give you if my stuff wasn't in storage 400 miles away. But you can get them cheap at a northern, harbor freight places, like 3 in a pack for 6 bucks or something.....I think its been awhile.
