Absolutely agree. They weren't anywhere near as nice as this from the factory. Beautiful work.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! It makes it a lot easier for me to do a good job since I have a blast doing this stuff.
I ordered primer and some sanding supplies that all shipped today. I bought more SPI epoxy primer and some their Turbo primer which is a 2K urethane. I also ordered some Evercoat Slick Sand polyester primer. I also ordered a new paint gun for exclusively for spraying polyester primer. It's an Iwata Airgunsa 3.0 mm tip gun. A saw a youtube video of a guy using one of these and saw how it sprays so much faster than the 2.2 mm primer gun I had been using for it. Here it is if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5X...atsnestHotrods Everything should be here by the end of the week so I may be able to lay down the primer over the weekend. First will be 2 coats of black SPI epoxy primer and then the Slick Sand the following day. I will only spray it where I think it needs a higher build, not the entire car. After I block sanding the polyester primer, I'll spray the entire body (except for the nose) with the Turbo 2K primer. The nose only gets additional epoxy primer since it the only primer that remains flexible. I got the body all prepped with a D/A using 80 grit and cleaned the dust off the car and out of the room. Kind of has that DeLorean look now. ![]() ![]() ![]()
