Paint

Finally got the fenders, doors and grill painted. The body and tailgate are done. Just have the hood and roof to do before the cold weather comes. It's been a hot muggy and wet summer this year and not too good for painting without a booth.Ken

Looking good Ken! What color is your grill inset...Argent or gray? Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Hank. I sprayed sealer on the grill then painted the argent color on first just over lapping the edge where the trim will be. Waited about three hours then masked off the edge and center of grill. Sprayed the body color then waited a few hours and removed the masking. The next morning I tacked everything and sprayed the clear. Thanks everyone for the comments. Ken

Thanks. The center is Argent. I hope to get this thing together this winter in time for the SC in April. Ken

Amazing! Ken, the color looks really nice. Will be great with the uncut quarters and skinny wheels.

You mean this one?

So is this the better method for rookie painter, that is paint individual parts prior to assembly rather than shooting assembled tub ? Assume all sheet metal has been previously assembled for fit. Thanks.

Hi, Ken, looking good.
Many pros paint the pieces. It is much easier to do a good job, especially on hard to reach spots like the door bottoms.
I have seen plenty of nice cars with expensive paint jobs, but the door bottoms are practically bare and the pinch welds are dripping.
Good luck

Yes all parts have been mocked up and fitted before disassembled for paint. I prefer to do it this way since it is a complete frame off redo. If it were a repaint I would do it assembled. Ken
