Damn that looks good! After you spray the primer what grit sandpaper did you use before you color sprayed? Did you wet sand after you clear coated?

Good Job! nice color too...

 

You make it look sooo easy! Looks great. It's an inspiration to all diy'ers. Can't wait to see the final product.

As far as sanding the primer i use 320 (blocked) then go back over it with 800 lightly using my DA so get and "pattern" scratches out...

ive use 320 on a DA on this truck i painted black and still looked like glass so its all up too you really...

And as far as the fender pics i have posted that was right after i sprayed them so no they were not wetsanded yet...

thanks

 

Great stuff.

 

Just to clarify; you used a DA to sand the primer before the first coat of paint? I always thought you should block sand. THe reason I ask is because I'm working on my EK.

yes thats how i do it...i have a 6" backing pad for my DA so thats why i said i go over it lightly just to get out any of the blocking patterns from the other grits before...i dont go over the bodywork areas too much if thats what your asking, so i keep it smooth...

 

nice color man loving the shades in it

 

loving the color man, cant wait to see it finish

 

Ok ok i didnt get too much done this weekend due to family stuff but some new pics of the color atleast....!
