Well what’s the worst that can happen? It’s not like I’m afraid to respray lol. I sprayed the fenders off of the nova on horses in their correct position and they matched, so Maybe I’ll try it apart.
I will do it that way if he picks solid red but he was talking metallic green. Will the color match? Metallics “line up”? If painted in pieces? My friend painted our first project together years ago in pieces and we had to do a total respray after assembly cause all the panels were different shades
As for the nova I did I just hand rubbed the clear overspray with ultra cut compound and it was okay but not up to my standards for this kinda project. I still might try to spot in the clear with blending solvent like Jayson had recommended but I want to practice it on a panel or ten first. thank u all for your input
Sealer isn’t an issue as I spray directly over a blocked out primer/sealer. I hardly ever see Jimmo “seal” then base wet on wet. My next car I might cut in the jambs. Then paint the outside with one or two coats of clear. Scuff the shell and then reclear the shell with the jambs open with three or four more coats. I’m going for PERFECT smooth show quality. No time savers or shortcuts. Now understand this isn’t my plan for daily drivers, just the hot rods I’ve gotten the privilege to spray and definitely my own when I get one
BTW nice car in your profile pic. I’m painting a 69 chevelle for this guy next. RED thank god. that lemans blue is a nightmare to spray for an amateur like myself. my paint rep said I need a LVB air cap for better atomization. so I ordered it for the next job
he bought it in primer. the lower 1/4s were replaced. I blocked it out, primed it. blocked it again. touched up any burn through with 2k primer and shot it. it is really straight and I was a little worried cause I didn’t do the body work. he wanted a cheaper job so I used keystone 3 in one primer sealer. But insisted on PPG DELTRON base (solvent). he wanted Omni and I said i’m not interested. and keystone high solids clear. I wanted ppg all the way but it’s only a 3K paint job
thank you for the advice. and the welcome. by burn in the clear is that like fade out thinner? the first time I sprayed the car I did it with the doors open and fenders off. the color is fine, just mottled. the jambs were perfect that way but a lot of work to spray it that way the customer loved it cause the mottling was only noticeable inside and not in the sun. and there was a halo from my jamb cut in on the sail panel. very minor but I wanted my first full paint job to be perfect so I resprayed it.
