New body tub we built and paint

[PCB 4x4]

New body tub we built in Porsche Adventurine Green. 6 coats of clear then cut and buff for mirror finish.

super nice! school me on clear coat. is 6 layers considered a lot? what is typical?

 

[PCB 4x4]

If I was doing stripes, I would do 3 coats, then the next morning wet sand with 600 and apply 3 more coats of clear

4:1 or 2:1 clear?

 

[PCB 4x4]

PPG 2:1 is what I prefer. We start wet sanding with 1000, 1200, 1500, then Trizat 3000, and finish with 5000 grit. Next is a 3 step polishing process

It's not that you are not allowed to have anything else, it's the fact that very few people these days seem to respect other folks things.
I would be afraid to drive anything that nice for fear of theft, door dings in parking lots, distracted people driving, or people driving that think they are the only ones on the road that matter. Beautiful work, I can only imagine the amount of hours that have gone into just the paint and body work.

Even parking as far away as possible in a lot with nobody anywhere close, draws out the person with the biggest piece of crap that has to park inches from you. Could have a hundred empty and closer parking spaces and they still do it.

Don't understand that type and do my best to avoid them.


Beautiful rig.

I know exactly what you mean

I normally have 200-225 body time, And a 100 hours paint time.

Damn. Beautiful work and I love the color. I would be afraid to drive it. Looking forward to seeing the full assembly

You are almost completely correct. I’m also very hard on gear. So it’s really my own rule lol. I would also be panicking all the time, about driving it and other people being well, other people.

@PCB, that's a beautiful paint job.

Thank you. It takes a lot more time to make them look like they should.

Got some more pics today. Painting is about done and close to being ready to put on our chassis.

Single stage (as original). Cut and buffed but easily repairable. Mirror finish. Note: picture is of the inside of a front fender...
