Left for Dead 68 Barracuda Buildup
It will test your sanity. LOL.
Slow progress is better than no progress.
Happy with how clean the car is getting. Another week
at this pace and I should have the front half of the car
completely blasted.
Our local mom and pop auto parts store sells the Omni
line of paint and primers. They described it to me as a lower cost PPG paint line that he sells to local body shops that don't have a in house mixing set up.
He is suggesting I use MP 170 epoxy and MP 182 polyester fill primers to cover the blasted metal.
He had also mentioned a window of time you have to get the fill primer shot to insure its adhere to the first epoxy coat.
This statement gives me visions of the cars you see where the paint has come off in large sections leaving a primer only hood.
I don't particularly care for the fact of having to get two different primers.
I am considering skipping the polyester fill primer for chassis and under hood but am afraid to stray from recommendations.
I really want the protection of the epoxy primer on the bare metal. But honestly from the epoxy up I would prefer the car to be done in lacquer.
Not sure this is possible yet, but plan on checking into it.
I think the lacquer paint will do alot to keep the look of 1973.
Urethane clears would seem out of place to me on this car.
At this point I am really only trying to get some primer on it
while it is in its cleanest state to protect it. Today's photo.
