1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto

Very nice work. Hope I can find some one that can replicate that kind of work out here. I know there are tons of good painters in SoCal. It's just a matter of finding one and within my $$$ range.

I am taking the car to a media blaster in the next week or so to have it plastic bead blasted and epoxy primed. Once I get it back to the house I will start work on flattening and smoothing out the panels since I know how to do that myself. This experience has at least given me that much.

I will be teaching myself how to shoot my own 2k high build primers and epoxy primer to seal any body filler and touch up spots that go to bare metal. This way I know it will not be my fault as far as the prep and products used before basecoat. I might even learn how use the sprayable polyester primer which could save me alot of time since it is very sandable. They also make some high build epoxy primers too. I will be doing alot of research while I'm on my hiatus from the car.

If things go really well with shooting the primer I might decide to clean up my garage real nice and put vapor barrier around everything and shoot my own BC/CC. Or just take it to a rental booth. We'll see in the coming months how things pan out.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys.
