My 70 Dart
Saturday, learning how to do blocking better after trial and error on the trunk. I will spray surfacer on the trunk tomorrow and sand it, it should come out ok now. I also bondo'd the hail dents in the hood, as much as I could tell anyway. I sprayed primer on it same time as trunk. I can see where I need to fill it in, not as much work as on trunk. See, I DID learn something! I bondo'd and then did guide coat then sanded and more filler. Man, that hood is WHACKED bad! Almost worth to buy another one, but how do I know that one would be ok? What the hey.......ain't doing nothing today anyway. I found out also that my compressor is not good enough for the Devilbiss gun I'm using. That thing needs too much CFM than the compressor has to put out. Will have to use a different gun. Will have pictures when primer is dried. Also thinking about going to a different paint. Was gonna use an aluminum flake blue, but that is way to touchy for my skill level. Going to try a xirallic pigment in a clear. That stuff does not settle, stays suspended. Could it be that the aluminum is settling in the cup while I'm spraying? One thing is sure, I'm staying with the blue color of the car. That will stay original. Don't have time or money to change to what I would like. Ok, all for now. Thanks for looking!
