Did you polish it at all or is that right out of that nice new rp
Can you show bondo how to remove headlights and taillights :whistle: he likes to put them back in before painting for some reason :wakcame out nice. is that a cave your painting in? :lol1

Ding, No cutting or buffing because its a cab and secondly because the RP makes the clear go down so damn nice. I used the RP for color too :silly:

Looks good.
I assume they aren’t making you jamb them?
You make a decent profit off of converting them to taxi’s?Is that etch prime? (Looks like it)
nah thats polyurethane primer slightly tinted so the base covers faster, more evenly
Rat, the profit i make is the sale of these cars not really the paint job, and jambs? na they require it but when they go for inspection and see how much better the paint looks then the other cabs they pass it. ugly cabs get failed for everything, my pretty cabs (with the stripe) pass
i think it looks awesome 😉 that morton sure looks like its got some dam nice holdout moke 😉
Nice job mo,the rp really speeds up those complete paint jobs eh 😉 What base coat are ya using? What primer are you using?Might want to paint your booth and wall coat it,it will make it easier to see in there 😛 Keep up the good work 😉
yea, jayson, just one single pass per panel with the RP and im done :lol1 i used marhyde ultimate 2k gray on the bodywork, then wanda hs primer but reduced annd tinted to sealer for the overall, sanded that with 800 and sprayed dimension base coat followed with morton clear.
Bondo, the clear holds up really well, its been a few years now since i first used it and the cars still look like they just left the booth, no issues. seriously try a gallon, you wont be disappointed.
something interesting, i did a little googling on that clear. it appears that prospray’s amtech line is relabeled morton/usc. amtech’s glamour clear is the stuff you are using right there.
looks great. I don’t think they even bother sanding the Taxis here… :lol1

thanks Ben, yea same here and everywhere i guess, let alone no one does bc/cc on them except maybe the manufacturer when they sell taxi packages
