MiniSimp's 1985

[MiniSimp]

Ok, done! Still need a little more paint behind the tool box.
Took 5 cans for 2 coats on the hood and fenders and 1 coat everywhere else.
Sanding the B pillars was the worst.

[MiniSimp]

I just remembered...I have a spare set of red doors on the side of the house... Thanks Dave!

[REG535]

Looks good, hehe.  what do use to sand it with and what number of sandpaper 100? or what?

[THK Matt]

AWESOME! shoot a thin coat on those doors... so they match and your set!

Looks good, hehe.  what do use to sand it with and what number of sandpaper 100? or what?

EEEK! 100 would be way to rough and take too much off.
400grit most likely

Went over it with 60 grit to get the old paint off, then 150 grit to smoothe it out, then one coat on the hood and fenders, then sanded those again, then final coat.

[REG535]

oh that looks good, 60 then 150,  by the what color of red is that? bright red or just reg red.

The frame is actually a carefully planned blend of factory paint, satin black, rust and oil. I believe this is the perfect blend for maintaining proper strength and a good appearance.
