Default Progress this week.

I got several of the body panels wet sanded and scuffed and set in the workroom for paint. While wet sanding the d/s fender I noticed 2 small low spots and sanded through to the urethane primer in both areas. I did get the low spots out but needed to spot spray epoxy primer over both areas.
I wanted to get the underside of the hood painted before wet sanding the top and got that done. Sprayed 3 coats of 25% reduced black epoxy primer.





Yesterday, I sprayed epoxy as a sealer followed by 3 coats of base on all the rest of the panels (just the bottom side of the trunk lid).





And today I sprayed on 4 coats of clear on everything except just 2 coats on the underside of the trunk lid. Just 2 coats on the door jambs as well since these areas wont get color sanded and buffed.



















So all that remains to paint are the tops of the hood and trunk lid and the d/s fender, trunk lid hinges and the hood scoop inserts. It looks like the weather will be conducive for being able to get that done this coming week.
